After her previous betrothals ended in the deaths of two prospective husbands and the life-threatening illness of a third, Lady Audra Lambton, known to society as "the Poor Lamb", prefers to avoid the ton. But if she successfully marries off her brother's young ward, he'll sign over control of Audra's dowry. The prospect of financial freedom lures Audra to London for another Season, where she once more encounters Lucas Kinley, the third of her ill-fated fiancés. Lucas is as deliciously tempting as ever, but can Audra take another chance with the Poor Lamb's curse, and Lucas's life?
