How utterly mortifying to be rejected by a rake!

Sneaking off to Vauxhall Gardens lands Lady Olivia Beauchamp in a bit more trouble than she expected—but after being plucked from peril by resolute bachelor Lord Hugo Alastair, she is secretly outraged that he doesn’t even try to steal a kiss! He’s a notorious rake among the ton, and as a result, utterly forbidden to an innocent debutante like her—the daughter of a duke, no less. But their attraction is magnetic. Will she risk her reputation for a passionate encounter?
