He took matters into his own hands, introducing Georgiana to his sister's influence. Soon Georgiana was transformed into a lady, charming the ton and cultivating a bevy of suitors. Everything was going to Dominic's plan ; until he realised that he wanted Georgiana for his own! Laurens' writing shines' Publishers Weekly
