From the glitter of Regency London to a sun-kissed
Mediterranean paradise, Nicole Jordan captivates with her
breathtaking sensuality and unforgettable romance. In Book
2 of her fabulous PARADISE series, to foil a murderous
plot, a duke's rebel son pretends a betrothal to a
beautiful artist and becomes ensnared in a scorching love.
SummaryNo woman could tame him . . . until he met his match.
With his reckless charm and lust for danger, Viscount
Thorne is one of England's most elusive bachelors—and
member of a secret league of protectors known as the
Guardians. To thwart his father's matchmaking schemes,
Thorne asks an alluring artist to pose as his betrothed.
Burned once by desire, Diana Sheridan swears off love. But
to secure her cousin's place in society, she agrees to
Thorne's charade. Then scandal brews, and Thorne insists
on going through with the marriage. When Diana refuses,
resisting his smoldering passion, the rakish lord wages a
dazzling campaign of seduction.
Meanwhile, danger threatens their very lives. Yet Thorne
realizes the greater danger is to his heart. For he never
expected to get caught in a matrimonial snare of his own
making—or imagined their pretense of a love match
would become so tantalizingly real.
