Miss Wickham's Betrothal

the long version

A scandalous situation. Eminently proper Lucy Wickham dearly desires a family-and thus makes her London debut willing to seriously consider the suit of any eligible beau. As good fortune would have it, she is soon betrothed to dashing Anthony Paget, the Viscount Dalsany. But their engagement has left Lucy in a quandary. For she discovers her intended groom's uncle to be none other than Alex Paget, Earl of Harrow-an unsettlingly handsome rogue whom Lucy has adored since girlhood... And whose very presence rekindles aching passions she believed long-extinguished. And now the befuddled miss is at her wit's end-beset by emotional turmoil as her practical head does battle with her amorous heart.
