Can gold ever mend a broken heart? John Tyrold has made a fortune. One that has caused him to be plagued by fortune hunters and eager debutantes. Except he's not in the business of charity - or in the market for a wife. Even when someone as enticing as the ravishing but secretive Georgiana Bailey offers him a proposal. Georgiana might be making her debut, but she's not looking for marriage. She has her sights set on finding a sponsor to help save her beloved home of refuge for women and children. And though John might be a catch for any debutante, she is harbouring secrets of her own and is certainly no lady! But when John finds himself forced to strike a deal with Georgiana: if she helps find and return Flora, his impulsive ward, to him then he'll give her the money to save her charity home. But as they spend time together feelings, that certainly were not a part of their negotiations, begin to arise.
