Wolf versus cat... fur will fly. Lady Isabel Grayson is tired with London in general and boorish peers in particular. Known for her sharp tongue and strident nature, after one scandal too many she finds herself banished to the countryside. Her exile is made worse, when her father announces he plans to marry her off to a mangy dog. Alick Ferguson is more comfortable in wolf's fur than a man's breeches. He is resigned to going through life alone, until he spots a spitting cat picking off dandies in a ballroom with a fencing foil. Alick's protective nature throws them together, and there is more to both than meets the eye. But, can they peel away their armour to trust and find love, or will they doom each other instead?
