About this item
She needs a champion. He needs one less person to worry about.Selena Lockhart comes with neither dowry nor connections, and she knows better than to expect Society to give her a welcome - especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family's sudden fall from grace and Selena's betrothed to break off their engagement. It therefore comes as no surprise that her new neighbor, Sir Lucius, treats her with disdain. Why should he look beyond appearances when her own promises so little? Sir Lucius Clavering is not married, but he may as well be, considering he is expected to escort his widowed mother to watering holes, round out the numbers at his married sister's dinners, and come to the aid of his scapegrace younger siblings. It doesn't help that single women and matchmaking mamas jostle each other to claim his face, fortune, and title so that he's left without a moment's peace.
