New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James returns to the Would-Be Wallflowers series with an enemies-to-lovers romance between a proper earl and an entirely improper ladywhom he cant stop thinking about.

Giles Renwick, Earl of Lilford, hasnever made a fool of himself over a womanuntil he meetsLady Yasmin Rgnier. Yasmin is ineligible for his attentions in every way: not as a wife, certainly not as a mistress (she is a lady!), nor even as a friend, since they vehemently dislike each other.Her gowns are too low, and her skirts are dampened to cling to admittedly lovely thighs. She loves to gossipand giggle.

She isnt dignified, or polite, or even truly British, given that her fathers French ancestry clearly predominated.Not to mention the fact that her mother had been one of Napoleons mistresses, a fact she makes no effort to hide.

So whatin heavens namepossesses him to propose?

And what will he do if she says yes?
