About this listen

Victoria Dryden gave Balthazar Hale the last thing he ever expected. A reason to stay . . .

Balthazar and his siblings are living the good life in the utopian community of Canoga, New York, where they have a degree of sexual and intellectual freedom few men—and even fewer women—have ever known. But sadly, all good things must come to an end.

When their father dies, the Hale siblings discover two disheartening truths. First, they have an older brother none of them knew existed. Second, this stranger is not only the heir to an English dukedom, he's also their new legal guardian.

Before the Hales know it, all five siblings are dragged to England to take their places in strait-laced, stuffy ton society, where their guardian expects them to make respectable marriages. All Balthazar wants is a way out. Until he meets her.

Victoria is a woman with dangerous secrets. She's the exact opposite of marriage material. Falling for her could ruin both their lives. But none of that matters when she's in Balthazar's arms . . . and his bed.

Finding their way to happily ever after would be so easy in Canoga. Too bad they aren't in utopia anymore . . .

Contains mature themes.
