"This book is more than a little bit wicked! It’s a tantalizingly sweet historical romance with characters that will make you swoon. Vivian March met the man she believed to be the love of her life when she was 24 where they shared a passionate kiss at a masquerade. When she discovers that she’s kissed the wrong man, she leaves quickly, ashamed of herself for making a huge mistake. For the next 10 years, she makes a life for herself as “The Paragon,” a woman brought in by families of note to bring their names back to the good graces of high society by correcting incidents of scandal. When she’s called upon by the Kincaid family, led by Marcus the Earl of Ashford, to solve the scandal problem of his sister, Clarissa, Vivian is brought face to face with the man she kissed so many years ago.

Full of blackmail, scandal, passion and true love, this book is absolutely delightful. The romance that transpires between Vivian and Marcus after 10 years is beautiful and incredibly sweet. The tenacity of Marcus and the vivacious strength of Vivian give this story depth and make it fun to get lost in. Their emotional journey to discover the happily ever after with each other brings a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart.

If you’re a fan of historical romance, this wicked little treat will definitely satisfy your needs!
