A Perfect Gentleman

Left with no funds in the family coffers, and a young, stylish stepmother to support, the viscount Wellstone needs money fast. When a friend offers to pay handsome "Stony" to escort his wife's younger sister to a ball, a career is launched. The charming viscount becomes London's hottest Town Beau, although the women he escorts never know he's with them for a fee. Then Stony gets a note with 100 pounds from Ellianne Kane, who wants his services for her and her aunt. Ellianne doesn't want to go to balls, or associate with a rake like Stony, but she does need to find her missing sister, and Stony is her only ticket into the ton. Humor and adventure abound as this man and woman, who seem, at first glance, absolutely wrong for each other, begin to fall in love. With her likable and scrupulous rogue, no-nonsense heroine, an aunt who swears so much everyone pretends she's a parrot, and the world's most religious butler, Metzger has written another captivating tale of Regency England.
