At least, that is what he thought he knew......

Her friendship with the Wexford family had given her the illusion of safety. It all shattered when she learned exactly how women of her class were at the mercy of rich and powerful men. Leaving her with a deep mistrust of upper-class men, she felt a deep sense of comfort at how she was swept of her feet by an ordinary young man. Assuming he was being truly honest about who he was.......At the tender age of seventeen, Lord Frederick Ainsworth had already become disillusioned by the life of the son of a wealthy, prestigious duke.
