Reeling from a stinging lecture delivered by his brother the earl, Jerome faces having his allowance cut off if he can't mend his ways. Determined to prove that he can be every bit as mature and sensible as St Clair, Jerome swears off drinking, carousing and getting into trouble.A scandal looking for a place to happen.Sadly, his dearest friend Bonnie has other ideas. Lurching from one disaster to the next in her wake, Jerome is tearing his hair out and knows he must end their friendship before his brother ends him.
