by Allison Lane

He Stole Her Heart
Jacob Winters, Earl of Hawthorne, is in no position to act as guardian to a spoiled nineteen-year-old girl. As a notorious member of London's most charming trio of rakes, Jacob decides it's best to foist his new charge onto his childhood playmate, Emily Hughes.

Now, Emily must set aside her childish infatuation and find a husband before the close of the season. In no time at all she finds herself betrothed to another—until one moonlit kiss changes everything...
