And the miss ran away with the rake

the long version

Sensible gentleman of means seeks a sensible lady of good breeding for correspondence, and in due consideration, matrimony. It's exactly the sort of advertisement that makes practical-to-a-fault Daphne Dale's heart flutter. A sensible gentleman is the perfect match, and she's even more convinced once they're exchanging sensible romantic letters. That is, until Lord Henry Seldon strays into her path. He's everything she's vowed to avoid - a rakish charmer whose very touch dissolves her practical sensibilities . . . and her resolve. (Bestseller)
