Description: "Eloise Hamilton, the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy banker, knows society's hallowed doors are closed to the likes of her. She attends her first country ball with no expectations, not even when Lord Richard Craven, heir to a dukedom, singles her out. Harry Benson-Smythe is shocked to return from a long absence to find that the sight of Craven sniffing around an all-grown-up Eloise incites a disconcerting level of jealousy. All for a girl he once thought of as a little sister, now a woman his father will never allow him to take to wife"--Page 4 of cover.
