After one unforgettable night with Grace he decides he's found the perfect woman for him but unfortunately Grace did a disappearing act before he even woke up. His friends have all started to marry and seeing them start families of their own has made him consider his own future. Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, has decided it is time to settle down. When she is caught in a storm and forced to spend a night in an inn with her teenage crush she decides that even if she can never marry she can at least have one night of passion to remember for the rest of her life. She knew that she was giving up the chance of having a family of her own as it would be very unlikely she'd be able to find a man willing to take on her and seven children. No other family members were willing to take all of the children on so it was the only way to keep them all together and Grace felt it was her duty to protect them all. When Lady Grace Carpenter's parents died she fought hard to gain custody of her seven younger siblings until one of her brothers was old enough to take control of their family estate.

Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle-or family-is too much for a man who's discovered his heart's desire… What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster. Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven children not his own.

Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day-or rather, the night-with the most compelling man she's ever known. The future promises to be far from boring… In the first book of her dazzling new series, bestselling author Ella Quinn introduces the soon-to-be Earl and Countess of Worthington-lovers who have more in common than they yet know.
