Prescott's Lady — Clarice Peters

She was determined not to repeat her mistake

Lady Eleanor Whiting may have been the toast of the ton, but she was no fool. When Lord Peter Prescott, the handsome devil of a rake, was spotted with the mistress he had pledged to give up, Lady Eleanor returned his engagement ring in a bit o'muslin, making him the laughingstock of town.

When they are thrown together by unavoidable circumstances three years later, the legendary battle of wills continues full steam. Neither will admit to the passion that lies beneath the contempt and each one is determined to best the other.

Fuelled by what she thinks is further evidence of Lord Peter's perfidy, Lady Eleanor decides to teach him a lesson he will never forget. But when the confessions of family and friends reveal her error, Lady Eleanor Whiting must change her plan--to Gretna Green or bust!
