Synopsis

Bound by undeserved scandal, two young debutantes find themselves unmarriageable, unforgettable and unstoppable. An unjust fall from grace may have sent the formerly prim and proper Miss Dorothea Oakley-White into hiding, but she refuses to be silenced. Using a pen name, she takes great delight in skewering the hypocrisies of the ton in The Ladies' Moral Intelligencer.

Her latest target, the dashing rake Lord Layburne, hunts her down and demands she stop her attacks at once. Spirited Dorothea promises she will — if he can restore her rightful position in society.

When Layburne discovers his nemesis is Thea, who blames him for the scandalous end to her engagement, he is intrigued by the challenge. But once he agrees to her conditions, he becomes enamoured with the idea of seducing her himself. Book one of Miranda Neville's Ladies in Disgrace.
