Miss Decima Ross knows for a fact that her overbearing family regularly remind themselves to «marry off poor dear Dessy.»But who would ever want a graceless, freckled beanpole like herself? Hearing that she is once more to be paraded in front of an eligible gentleman, Decima hurriedly leaves her brother's house.And encounters Adam Grantham, Viscount Weston, the first man she's ever met who's tall enough to sweep her off her feet…literally! Could such a handsome rake really find her attractive?
