Confessions of a Lady Ruined — Karen Lingefelt

Julia Bassett can't bear living in the household of the handsome lord who once charmed and then ruined her--especially while he prowls London's ballrooms for a wife! Forced to act as his sister's chaperone, Julia will do anything to be sent packing--even if it means engaging in the same scandalous behavior that years earlier got her banished to the country and separated from this dashing earl she still secretly loves.

Colin Everett, Earl of Danforth, enjoys seeing how far Julia will go to jeopardize her position--even to brazenly seducing him. He regrets breaking her heart so long ago, and now he'd like to win her back. But when several attempts are made on his life, he must find out if this bold vixen is seeking love...or vengeance. Can Colin and Julia learn to trust each other--and their own hearts?
