What happens when a bride ends up with the wrong groom? In Rebecca Kelley's witty, passionate tale of romance, sparks fly between an eligible lady who doesn't trust her desires and the roguish suitor determined to prove her wrong.

Wolfgang Hardwicke, the Earl of Northcliffe, is up to no good, as usual. He doesn't know why he comes to the aid of a drunken gambler. He certainly isn't expecting to be rewarded with a glimpse of the gambler's exquisite sister--and yet one glimpse is not enough. So Wolfgang is absolutely thrilled to see her again, lighting up a dull party as she plays piano. But to win this glorious musician's hand, the notorious rake will have to change her tune--fast.

Miss Grizelda Fleetwood has no interest in romance--she's only marrying to save her family from financial ruin. That is, if she can find a suitable match before the unprincipled and relentless Earl of Northcliffe ruins her reputation. Unlike her not-so-secret admirer, Zel is an unabashed do-gooder with a soft spot for those in need. But if Zel is too generous with Wolfgang, she might find herself walking down the aisle with the one man she never expected--a husband she loves with all her heart.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Back to You, Morgan's Woman, and A Case for Romance.

      The woman who sells herself to salvage a profligate male relative is a well-worn plot. But romance newcomer Kelley gives her Regency a new twist with her clever depiction of her heroine, an almost six-foot-tall spinster. Grizelda Fleetwood is looking for someone very rich who will keep her brother out of debtor's prison, and someone aged and very pliable who won't try to control her. Wolfgang Hardwicke, the Earl of Northcliffe, is neither old nor mildmannered and plans to make the prim and proper do-gooder change her mind. There's a clever musical leitmotif--Zel shares in the "curse of Mozart" as her second name is Amadea, and each chapter has a telling musical title (Scherzo, Vivace, Duet etc.)--and both characters are wryly cultivated, making them funny counterpoints to their philistine set. Kelley's style is cheery, clever and fastpaced, and the dialogue truly seems like a meeting of sharp minds. More real historical ambience would make it perfect, but romance readers can still anticipate an amusing read.
