Drinking, gambling, debauchery and wagering, he’s done it all, but it’s starting to lose some of its charm. Lord Xavier was orphaned at an early age and has had the wealth and freedom to do as he pleased since for as long as he can remember. Having accepted her likely fate as a spinster, she’d nonetheless like to experience a thrill or two, and what better way to practise flirting or stealing a kiss or two than at Xavier’s wild party? So when Louisa, with her formidable aunt as chaperone, receives an invitation to his house party, rumoured to be quite a raucous event, she’s puzzled, but intrigued and accepts. Matheson and Louisa’s step-sister got married, and the scandal passed, but Xavier isn’t really a favourite in the Oliver or Matheson family circles any more. After Miss Louisa Oliver broke her betrothal to Viscount Matheson, her step-sister and former intended was subjected to quite a scandal, due to the gossipping ways of Matheson’s friend, the dissolute Alexander Edgware, Lord Xavier.
