Once upon a time in Mayfair, a group of wallflowers formed a secret society with goals that had absolutely nothing to do with matrimony. Their most troublesome obstacle? Rogues! They call her Beastly Beatrice. All wallflower Lady Beatrice Bentley has to do is survive one more humiliating social season and she can return to her brother's Gothic mansion in the wilds of Cornwall for a life of solitude and scholarship. But before she retires from London society, she'll transform the dilapidated Castle Bookshop she inherited into a clubhouse for a secret society of ambitious ladies. Too bad the only available carpenter in London happens to be the last man she wants to see again--the annoyingly arrogant and too-handsome rogue she met last summer. Rogue. Scoundrel. Heartbreaker. You can call him anything you like…as long as you pay him. Navy man Stamford Wright is leaving London as soon as his ship's ready to sail and his obligations are settled. Renovating Lady Beatrice's bookshop is just a job. It has nothing to do with her fiery copper hair. Or the etymology lessons the prim-yet-alluring lady loves to give him. Or the forbidden things he'd love to teach her. Sometimes temptation proves too strong to resist
