Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue. But even he draws the line at running off with his best friend's bride. He's only trying to recapture the inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended. For reasons that elude her, bookish Olympia is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The ton is flabbergasted. Her family's ecstatic. And Olympia is climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail . . .
