When Harry Stillman finds himself deep in debt after a losing streak at the gambling tables, he turns to Lord Damion, a generous nobleman whose agrees to pay off Harry's debt, provided Harry turns his life around. Unbeknownst to Harry, Lord Damion is actually Lady Sabrina in disguise. Keeping her secret identity hidden from Harry proves difficult when she starts to lose her heart to the handsome rake.
This book has a great message about second chances and not giving up on someone when they have nothing. Harry goes through a beautiful metamorphosis as he starts overcoming his gambling and alcoholism. Lady Sabrina is strong character who helps Harry become a better man by giving him opportunities to change and not giving up on him but not going easy on himself either. The love story between the two is sweet and natural. The only thing I wish the story had more of was seeing Harry reconcile with some of his friends and family members.

In this Regency twist of My Fair Lady, Jack would rather be at sea than fixing the mistakes of his grandfather, the late Earl of Stansworth. Instead, he finds that inheriting his grandfather's wealth and title--and securing the welfare of his sister and mother--means joining the ranks of high society and living with the aristocracy. Luckily, Ivy Carlisle, the granddaughter of a dear friend of Jack's late grandmother, is willing to teach him etiquette and properly introduce him into society. Jack soon learns that his challenge isn't surviving his new lifestyle but surviving the conspiracies against him--as well as keeping himself from falling madly in love with his new tutor.
