Socialite Margaret Vaughn is the wealthiest heiress in London—or so everybody thinks. Margaret is actually facing financial ruin—and social humiliation. After amassing a fortune in the gold fields of Australia, Tom Poole is the toast of London society. Yet despite his newfound fame, he’s never forgotten his own humble beginnings. When he learns of Margaret’s plight, he offers her financial assistance—though his interest is not strictly business. But can he convince the proper, refined lady that, despite their social differences, they are a match made in heaven?

Lady Sophia has long been estranged from her husband, Vane Barwick, the Duke of Claxton, whose rumored list of amorous conquests includes almost every beautiful woman of the
ton
. Yet a shocking encounter with him in a crowded ballroom is all it takes to reawaken her furious passion for him. Claxton has never forgiven himself for the youthful mistake that ruined his marriage to Sophia. He’ll do whatever it takes to prove he can be the honorable, passionate husband she deserves. Can they rekindle the flame that burned so bright and find a new path to forever?
