Through the Diary of Leonie Noirot: The perfect corset should invite its undoing .

Lethally charming Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne, has reluctantly returned to London for just one reason just: a family group obligation. Still, he could make time for the seduction of a certain redheaded dressmaker-but Leonie Noirot hasn’t time for him. She’s obsessed with transforming his cousin, the dowdy Lady Gladys, right into a swan.

Leonie’s skills may coax curves-and profits-from nothing, but his criminally handsome lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to understand her genius. He badly needs to learn a lesson, as well as the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once and for all.

A great program, in theory-but Lisburne’s turn into a serious distraction and Leonie’s usual logic is at risk of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise. Could the Season’s very best transformation be her own?
