The Crimson Lady
Miss Phillipa Grey, better known as Pippa, could not imagine why all of London looked upon the Viscount Allingham as a paragon of perfection. Pippa vowed that never would this embodiment of arrogance make her follow his lead or dance to his tune. — When Allingham told her to avoid Lady Isabelle Granville, Pippa promptly made that scandalous beauty her best friend. When he warned her about the silky-smooth Baron Seagrave, she let that lord of seduction weave his wily web around her. And when Allingham dared to tell her what to wear, she dressed in a way sure to make him see red. But while enraging the infuriating Allingham was easy, resisting him was hard. Defying his commands meant denying her heart, as she had to choose between her determination to stand tall and her growing desire to melt in his arms.
