'Fainting at the feet of the handsome, extremely eligible young duke she is introduced to at her first London ball is the single most humiliating experience of Diana Creighton’s life. Learning she’s been nicknamed The Fainting Flower by the ton’s young bucks means her prospects aren’t likely to improve any time soon, so when Diana and her sister Clarissa are asked to accompany their aunt and her new husband on their honeymoon trip to Italy, they jump at the opportunity.

'It’s the trip of a lifetime, the chance to escape the humiliating gossip and the machinations of her matchmaking mother. But when one of the first people she encounters in Venice is the very same arrogant duke who caused her troubles in the first place, Diana realises she can’t run far or fast enough to escape.

'Although… Will Balford doesn’t seem nearly so stuffy and arrogant, away from the stifling expectations of the Ton. Possibly she doesn’t really want to get away from him after all…'
