Who wants to go to a ball when she has medical conferences to attend?Peregrine, Perry for his friends, doesn't share her enthusiasm for books. He's the brother of the Earl of Ravenscroft, titled, and powerful. Studying? Why would he need to study? He's the spare.

She's furious. The artist promised not to sell the compromising painting, and now she wants it back before a scandal ensues.Perry proposes a deal.
