Gwen’s life gets more complicated though when Lady Chumleigh’s accomplished and divinely handsome nephew Lucian, Lord Warrick, arrives with some friends for an extended visit. Warrick finds spirited and beautiful Gwen a worthy challenge of his seductive skills, while Gwen struggles to resist his appeal.
