Publisher's Summary
Lady Evie Chesterfield is a darling of the ton who refuses to become engaged. She's been desperately in love with her brother's friend, Richard Maitland, Marquess of Westfall, since forever. But the dark, dangerous marquess only sees her as a friend and refuses to marry any woman. When circumstances change and Evie has no choice but to take a husband, she decides to convince London's most notorious gentleman to marry her by seducing the scoundrel.
Richard Maitland decided long ago that he wanted nothing to do with love. So, when the gorgeous, off-limits Evie asks him for lessons in seduction, Richard knows he's playing with fire. Despite Richard's determination to protect her from his dastardly reputation, he is tested at every turn by his need for the infuriating, but enticing, Lady Evie. Before too long, he is faced with making an impossible choice....

Quite a dark love story
I had high expectations for Evie and Westfalls aka Richard Maitland love story and I'm still not sure if it met those expectations.
This was quite a dark love story since it looked a harder aspects of life in London at that time and because of the heros lifestyle the heroine very much lived in a gilded cage to his reality of fighting for poverty, better rights for veterans, having a illegitimate daughter and a household of orphans. She was the the talk of the ton(London 's rich society) and they very much ran in different circles yet she loved most ardently and passionately him and wanted to be with him and went to after what she wanted. Richard was quite jaded from what he had been through since discovering his daughter and adopted children and this lead to him judging Evie harshly despite how he felt.
It took almost death claiming Evie for Richard to realise he loved Evie.
I'm still not sure that I completely enjoyed how dark this book was or that Richard needed to be that jaded... Evie could have also possibly been a little less naive but then I guess that's how they were raised those days.
Looking forward to the next book with Richard's sister Pheobe. I wish we had gotten a further glimpse into an epilogue but still a very enjoyable story and opens your eyes as to what it was like back then.
Madeleine Lesley is one of the better narrators Stacy Reid has had read her books.
