Description
He set out to transform her... but she will undo him.
Lucasta Lithwick never asked to be fashionable. She only wanted to make music. But duty calls her to London to chaperone her cousin through a glittering Season-and into the path of Jeremiah Falstead, the new Lord Rudyard, whose cutting remarks earn him the nickname "Smart Jeremy." When Lucasta dares to answer back, she becomes the target of his revenge. His plan? To turn her, the Season's most unlikely wallflower, into its shining star.
Jem's motives begin as pride and wounded vanity, but every stolen glance, every sparring word with Lucasta awakens something far more dangerous-desire. Beneath her prim exterior lies a spirit as wild and ungovernable as his own, and soon Jem finds himself risking not only his secret but his heart.
As transformation gives way to temptation, both must decide if love is worth the fall from Society's grace... or if happily ever after belongs only in the music of their dreams.
An irresistible Regency romance about two strong hearts learning that love, not fashion, is the most daring transformation of all. Fans of Julia Quinn and Tessa Dare will fall for this emotional enemies-to-lovers tale that proves even the most sensible hearts can lose their way when love-and a rogue-comes calling.

Person
Misty Urban wrote her first story at age 5 for the benefit of her younger sister. It was, sources say, a rather conventional piece involving cats, mats, and possibly bats (the work is no longer extant). Her next venture, a journalism/reportage effort entitled "The Urban Star," peaked at a circulation of 3. She wrote her first novel at age 16. It remains unpublished.Her subsequent career paths have included stints as a bookseller in Madison, WI; an MA student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL; a combined MFA/Ph.D. student at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY; and four years as an assistant professor at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, ID. She has most recently come to rest in eastern Iowa, where she reads and writes in the company of one handsome park ranger, two young aspiring writers, and a rather heavy collection of books.
