Josephine Claremont hides her real name, and all the struggles she had to endure behind a beautiful stage name and a debonair lifestyle. As the premier actress in London, she is welcomed in all society homes even though she doesn't belong in the Haute ton. She is the queen of the demimonde and is determined to maintain that position even if a dashing viscount is oddly intent on winning her heart.
Richard Lewis, Viscount Gage, does not believe in love. His sisters may have succumbed to love and marriage, but he values cold logic and reason in the affairs of the heart. Nor is the viscount above meddling in other people's lives if he believes he is right. When one night of passion with the fabulous actress leads to him reevaluating all his beliefs, he is committed to winning her no matter what. Only headstrong vixen is determined to avoid him at every turn.
