Then Came You

Lily Lawson is determined to prevent her younger sister from making a disastrous marriage to Alex, Lord Raiford. Her schemes bring her repeatedly into conflict with the controlled aristocrat, while a hidden tragedy explains the desperation beneath her reckless public behaviour.

The story unfolds in Regency high society and the gaming world of London, where reputation, guardianship and marriage settlements can determine a woman’s future. Kleypas contrasts aristocratic respectability with the freer but precarious social space of clubs and gambling houses.
