She may have made a cake of herself with her girlish crush on Winn Markham, but the appreciation in his eyes at her come out had been more than complimentary. Three years later, she wondered if his warm brown eyes still held the same spark. Winn Markham hasn't been home for three years, and just when he thinks his father will finally forgive him for his past dealings with card sharps, he's thrown into chaperoning his younger sister for a week of post-Christmas cheer. He's not thrilled about the prospect of spending a holiday with his sister and her silly friends until he realizes that Adeline Priestley will be there. No one would have guessed the week would turn into such scandalous fun when one of the girls suggests a week of Breaking the Rules of the Beau Monde.
