Publisher: Orson Whitney Press
When the very bored and very handsome Viscount Trowbridge agrees to escort Miss Sophie Edwards to her first ball, his life is upended. Because a childhood injury left her unable to dance, Sophie is new to the ton and not terribly interested in it.
But our heroine has a secret weapon: she has mastered the violin. The viscount, aka Gorgeous Frank, is unexpectedly and powerfully smitten the first time he hears Sophie perform. Recognizing in her a person more complex and passionate than any ton beauty, he launches a courtship calculated to win her in ways as original as she is. Sophie is nearly bowled over, but a native disinclination to trust proves a serious challenge, as does Frank’s former mistress.
At times, Frank is his own worst enemy. As he wades through a sea of misunderstandings, will his “angel” have the insight to believe that he is a changed man? Will Sophie avail herself of her sisters’ help, lower the barriers of a lifetime to trust him, and allow herself to fall in love?
