Legend says that whomever possesses the St. John talisman ring will find
their one true love. Now that the ring rests in the pocket of renowned
scoundrel Brandon St. John, the dashing rake must decide whether it is a
blessing...or a curse.
Never has the irresistible rogue, Brandon St. John, pursued a woman with
more fervor--but his ardent suit of Lady Verena Westforth has a
different purpose. The delectable blond lovely is indeed enticing, but
Brandon suspects her of hiding a valuable missive that he has sworn to
recover. With a sensuous kiss and a passionate caress he intends to
lower Verena's guard...and then discover where she's hidden "the goods."
Without the missive, Verena stands to lose the one thing dearest to her
heart. And now an extraordinary man has entered her life...at the worst
possible time! Vulnerable though she may be, Verena vows she will not be
just another of Brandon's "conquests," even as she aches to melt in his
arms. But is he a needed friend or a foe in alluring disguise...and will
she be able to prove to him that love is their true destiny?
