SummaryThe Adventurer:
Years of roaming the Far East have forged Lord Jonathan
Devoran St. George into an intrepid, solitary world
traveler, estranged from both family and homeland. He has
no desire to return home, yet the theft of a sacred fossil
has forced Jack back to England, where he waits and watches
for the thief to make his next move.
The Lady:
To Jack's horror, a sailor slips the prize to an
unsuspecting young Englishwoman, innocently minding her own
business. Seconds later, the man is murdered, and Miss Anne
Marsh unwittingly becomes the unknown killer's next target.
The Temptation:
A perilous guardian angel, Jack sweeps Anne off to his
ancestral estate for her own protection. Neither of them
know how many obstacles will lie in their path before they
reach the assumed sanctuary of Wyldshay.
The Fall:
Safely engaged to another, Anne has never met anyone like
Wild Lord Jack. Trapped in this darkly handsome aristocrat's
company, why not seize the chance to learn something new:
about the world, about love, about wickedness...
