The distressed traveler Charlotte Cameron encounters on a rainy Scottish
night is absolutely the worst man she could have invited into her
carriage! It is Phillip Maddox, the reprehensible Duke of Colster, who
brought the full weight of the ton's fury down upon her--simply because
Charlotte encouraged her sister not to wed the powerful peer. And now
the seductive devil responsible for her social ruin is sitting close
enough to kiss . . .
Phillip's distaste for the meddlesome beauty matches
Charlotte's--though, under alternate circumstances, he might have
enjoyed sampling the sensuous charms of the tempting young chit.
There is grave danger, however, on the journey they now must reluctantly
share--and a nemesis who means them both mortal harm. But can a passion
that inconveniently ignites in the face of disaster erase a painful past
. . . and lead two sworn enemies to a most unanticipated destination:
the bedchamber?
