In New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle's fourth novel in the Rhymes With Love series, a resolute young woman goes toe-to-toe with the Beast of Mayfair

She has no desire for love . . .

As she arrives in Mayfair, Louisa Tempest is horrified when her incorrigible cat bolts from the carriage and dashes into a neighbor's house, where she comes face-to-face with the reclusive Viscount Wakefield. But even more dismaying than his foul temper is the disarray in which she finds his home. Convinced his demeanor would improve if his household were in order, Louisa resolves to put everything to rights.

. . . until she meets the viscount who lives down the lane

Much to his chagrin, Wakefield finds it impossible to keep the meddling Louisa out of his home, invading his daily life with her "improvements," and his nights with the tempting desires she sparks inside him. Wounded in the war, he's scorned society ever since his return . . . until Louisa opens the door to his heart and convinces him to give love a second chance.

      Starred review from October 15, 2014
      Pierson Stratton, Viscount Wakefield, isn't sure who is going to drive him mad first: Louisa Tempest, or her cat, Hannibal. From the moment she barges into his home while chasing after her wayward feline, Louisa seems to have nothing better to do than interfere in Pierson's life. Doesn't the troublesome Miss Tempest know that when a wounded soldier returns home from the horrors of war, all he wants to do is withdraw from the world? It would seem Louisa does not, since she is constantly coming next door to hire new cooks, sort out his linen closet, and dig in his garden. If that isn't annoying enough, her fiendish feline is constantly underfoot. As far as Pierson is concerned, Louisa is the source of all problems currently plaguing his household. But what if Louisa isn't the cause of all his problems, but the cure? RITA Awardwinning Boyle (If Wishes Were Earls, 2014) once again displays her deft hand at combining buoyant wit with deep emotion. With its perfectly matched protagonists, surfeit of simmering sexual chemistry, and deliciously amusing cast of secondary characters, the latest addition to the Rhymes with Love series is entrancing in every way.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
