Gideon's brother Perry has likewise been caught up in an incident finding a stowaway housemaid in his carriage as he's bound for London...</p><p>I plan to seduce the rake who refuses to touch me. Propriety be damned. </p><p>Getting him to teach me what love is... seems like just the right challenge to sooth my damaged soul.</p>
