A flirtation between a manipulative genius and an eccentric beauty leads to scandal in this revised and updated edition of the third book of legendary New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas's popular Victorian romance series featuring the unforgettable Hathaways
Though she adores her quirky family, Poppy longs for a conventional life. But nothing, especially love, is ordinary when you’re a Hathaway . . .
During a stay at the magnificent Rutledge Hotel in London, effervescent Poppy Hathaway captures the attention of Harry Rutledge himself. With his brilliant mind and ruthless nature, Harry does whatever it takes to get what he wants. Fascinated by Poppy’s sweetness and charm, he comes up with a devious plot to steal her from another man and marry her himself.
At first, Poppy is charmed by the handsome genius, who rescues her from scandal with an offer of marriage. But when she discovers how her new husband betrayed her, Poppy flees the marriage.
Now it’s up to Harry to prove he can change his ways. Only by opening his heart, and loving Poppy with all the tenderness he’s capable of, will he convince her to give him another chance. And despite Poppy’s reluctance to forgive him, she realizes her shrewd, sexy husband may just turn out to be the man of her dreams.

"I truly enjoy the Hathaway family. I started this series with book 2 about Win and Kev and I was excited to read this one about Poppy and Harry. It didn't disappoint and gave clues to the next book, which I also can't wait to read!"

" Rosalyn Landor is a great narrator and Lisa Kleypas as an author is a wonderful combination "
— AB, 6/20/2023" This is my first Kleypas. After reading and enjoying Eloisa James and Julia Quinn, I decided to pick up another author that I freqently see quoted on one or both of those author's books. So I picked up this one. First, let me say that I think I'll like Kleypas' other stuff. I liked her writing, I just don't care for those stories where the guy's overly awful to the female (or the other way around, though those you generally don't see). So, I didn't love this story. But I think I might like her other stuff, so I'll totally check out more of her stuff. This one just wasn't great to me. "

— Warilyn, 4/16/2011" I read this first and I'm glad I did. The audio is not bad, but it is not great. The narrator did not do a very convencing job as Harry. This really should have had both male/female narrators. "
