"A mean girl reformed... Once the reigning beauty of her social set, Celia -- whom the newspapers dubbed Lady Infamous -- has fallen on hard times and is practically destitute, her reputation in shreds. When Celia is forced to attend a society wedding as a companion to an elderly guest, she must confront the clique she once commanded; the gentleman she'd once hoped to marry -- who is now wed to a girl Celia relentlessly taunted; and the powerful man who ruined her life a decade before -- and is threatening to do so again.... A hero transformed... Then there is Richard, the studious boy Celia used to ridicule, who is now gorgeous, wealthy, and and more than-a-little famous. As a youth, Richard was infatuated with Celia. He still seems intrigued, but Celia has acquired a shocking secret along with her hard-won humility. Will it put an end to the love blossoming between them? Does she have the courage to find out?" --
