Headstrong American heiress Lillian Bowman has come to England to find
an aristocratic husband. Unfortunately, no man is strong enough to tame
the stubborn beauty's fierce will. Except, perhaps, the powerful and
arrogant Earl of Westcliff--a man Lillian despises more than anyone
she's ever met.
Marcus, Lord Westcliff, is famous for his icy English reserve and his
supreme self-control. But something about the audacious Lillian drives
him mad. Whenever they're in the same room, they can't stop themselves
from battling furiously to gain the upper hand.
Then one afternoon, a stunningly sensuous encounter changes everything .
. . and Lillian discovers that beneath the earl's reserved façade, he is
the passionate and tender lover of her dreams. What neither Westcliff
nor Lillian suspect, however, is that a sinister conspiracy threatens to
destroy any chance of happiness. After a shocking betrayal endangers
Lillian's safety--and possibly her life--will Marcus be able to save her
before it's too late?
