Ivy Leighton may be a wealthy heiress, but she’s definitely not suitable. Her exotic Romani roots are cause for scorn amongst most of high society. Not that Ivy minds overmuch. She’s too independent and free spirited to worry about things like that. Then she meets Leo . . . and her mind conjures all sorts of delicious trouble they could indulge in together. She just needs to convince him that sometimes a little scandal can lead to a lifetime of happiness.
