Lissa

When Viscount Stapleford arrived at his country estate to recover from an unfortunate love affair, every mama bought her marriageable daughter a new gown in the hope she might catch his eye. But he shunned them all. The only one who caught his interest was sixteen-year-old Lissa Wayburn. Her fine straight nose, remarkably fine eyes, and riot of glorious copper curls seemed to belie her unknown birth and doubtful respectability. The viscount took her in as a companion for his sister, giving her an education in the ways of the polite world. The disappointment and jealousy of the frustrated mamas and daughters bred a dangerous scandal. Lissa was left with no choice but to run away. For she and Stapleford found themselves falling in love. Now he had to find her - and try to uncover the true facts about her birth.
