During a tumultuous time in her life, Lady Charlotte Hayward made some decisions that changed the entire course of her life.  Although those decisions haunt her, she must keep them secret.  Considered good and perfect, Lady Charlotte knows she is not.  And to protect her secret, she has vowed to never marry. 

When Darius Carsington moves in next to her family estate, Lady Charlotte's vow to never marry may be in jeopardy.  For Darius, Charlotte might just risk her secret and her heart.

Oh how I loved Not Quite a Lady!  It made me laugh.  It made me cry.  It made my tender heart ache.  It made me oh so happy. 

Loretta Chase's heroes are divine and Darius is no exception.  But it's not just Darius that makes this story so enthralling.  The story itself is beautiful and heartfelt.  I've read Not Quite a Lady twice so far and each time it makes my heart sing with happiness.
