Rescuing Lord Roxwaithe / Cassandra Dean

Oliver, Earl of Roxwaithe, has always regarded Lady Lydia Torrence as a sibling even as she'd declared one day they would wed. Fourteen years her elder, Oliver was convinced Lydia felt only a crush and when she inevitably declared her love, he had to refuse. After she left for the Continent, he told himself he didn't miss her, that she had always been too young, and if perhaps he'd noticed she had become a woman, that was best left unsaid. Lydia had always known she loved Oliver and he loved her. Furious he would claim she was too young, she determined to take the Continent by storm, to hone her skills and become an expert in flirtation. Upon her return to London, she'd show him she was a fully-grown woman who knew what she wanted -- and she wanted him. Oliver is stubborn in his resolve until a new suitor for Lydia puts Oliver's resolve to the test. Will he discover the girl he's always loved has become the woman he will forever adore?--Author's website.
