Winner of the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Medallion Award

Can a desperate young lady return a rakish earl to respectability? When Miss Margaret Caldecourt returns to her ancestral English country manor from Vienna to care for her late brother’s six-year-old son and heir, Timothy, she learns that unscrupulous relatives threaten his birthright.

Immediately she seeks help from her childhood friend and Timothy’s newly named guardian, the handsome Adam Fortescue, sixth Earl of Abberley. But Abberley, through reckless pleasure-seeking, has brought scandal to his name, let his estate fall to ruin, and is in no condition to help. Determined nevertheless to enlist his aid and protect her nephew, Margaret decides to reform Abberley’s heedless ways whether he likes it or not.

She knows that beneath his dissolute demeanor lies a noble heart, but never does she suspect that her own heart may be vulnerable to London’s most notorious rake.

Oh please!

I don't know if it was the narration or the Lead Female. I wanted to reach out and strangle her. The boy is an orphan and rich. When his father dies a great aunt and her son rolled up and try to take over. It was downhill from there. The second attempt on the boys life she goes to find the boy guardian to tell him. Ms hot box does some serious flirting before she tells him and then it came over as an after thought. I was tempted to turn it off but it was so bad that I couldn't.
The breaks between chapters is too long.
