About the Book

A woman who won’t be ruined
London, 1792. Henrietta Wardley-Hines, bluestocking, plans to use her father’s new knighthood to wrangle her way into the Minerva Society, a group of powerful women committed to social reform. That means she must steer clear of rakes like the man they call Lord Daring, famous for ruining innocents.

A man who refuses to repent
Henrietta needs polish to be a force in higher circles, and Lord Darien Bales has that in spades. He also requires her help—or that of her powerful relations—in blocking a legal suit to take away his brother’s inheritance. But Darien warns his enterprising new accomplice not to meddle in his latest scandal, the one with the duke’s daughter; he’s not in search of reform.

When Henrietta’s debate for the Minerva Society lands her in jail, it is Darien who risks his own standing to clear her of accusations of treason. But he’ll have to risk life and limb—and confront her own betrayal—if Darien wants to convince the stubborn reformer who has upended his life that he is worthy of her heart.

Rescuing the reformer is going to ruin the rake…

Misty Urban

Misty Urban wrote her first story at age 5 for the benefit of her younger sister. It was, sources say, a rather conventional piece involving cats, mats, and possibly bats (the work is no longer extant). Her next venture, a journalism/reportage effort entitled “The Urban Star,” peaked at a circulation of 3. She wrote her first novel at age 16. It remains unpublished.

Her subsequent career paths have included stints as a bookseller in Madison, WI; an MA student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL; a combined MFA/Ph.D. student at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY; and four years as an assistant professor at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, ID. She has most recently come to rest in eastern Iowa, where she reads and writes in the company of one handsome park ranger, two young aspiring writers, and a rather heavy collection of books.
