SummaryA PASSION MORE POWERFUL THAN PROPRIETY
Miss Kira Melbourne is anything but a proper English rose.
Her exotic beauty, courtesy of her foreign mother, has
marked her as an outsider, and her ghastly reputation as a
woman of loose virtue has only added to that status. The
victim of a devious viscount's horrible lies, Kira has the
chance to redeem herself and become a member of polite
society as the fiancée of a respected country clergyman.
She'll finally have a place to belong...even if it's in the
tepid arms of a man she doesn't love.
Gavin Daggett, Duke of Cropthorne, isn't about to let his
naive country cousin marry a scandalous woman like Kira
Melbourne. The solution is a simple one: Gavin will seduce
the vixen and prove her unworthiness, thereby releasing his
cousin from any obligation. But spending time with Kira is
like awakening to a world of color and beauty, and it stirs
the fiery desires Gavin has fought to suppress his entire
life. Caught in his own dangerous game, sharing forbidden
pleasure with Kira, Gavin knows that the price of loving
her is high—and yet it is one that he will willingly
pay...with every beat of his heart.
