    About this audiobook

    An innocent beauty
    takes society by storm-and a worldly lord by surprise.



    Morag Fleming, the Countess of Murr, had been bride to the most
    lecherous lord in Scotland-yet this ravishingly lovely girl had never been
    touched. Needless to say, she had never borne a child; yet as a young widow she
    came to London with a fine son in tow.



    Her background had left her ignorant of the follies and
    fopperies of fashion, but soon all of society was at her feet. Most incredible
    of all, she knew so little about the ways and wiles of love yet set her heart
    upon none other than the devastatingly handsome, charming, and wealthy Lord
    Toby Freemantle, who could have any woman he chose and clearly chose not to
    have her.
