Sparks abound in this sizzling new Legendary Lovers tale from New
York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan, in which a seductive
rakehell must woo his spirited but love-shy bride while unmasking a
mysterious assailant.
Despite his notorious reputation, Quinn Wilde, Earl of Traherne, has
mostly honorable intentions. So when beautiful Venetia Stratham boldly
enters a gentlemen's club, demanding that Quinn stop courting her
sister, he does what any bachelor would do: He kisses her. With her
sharp wit, intoxicating passion, and surprising vulnerability, Venetia
is irresistible--except for all this nonsense about threatening to shoot
Quinn. But when clandestine enemies make an actual attempt on the earl's
life, Venetia is implicated. To save her good name, Quinn does what any
true gentleman must do: He proposes.
Thus Venetia finds herself wed to arrogant, wickedly sensual Quinn,
whose devilish ways are as legendary as his rumored skills as a lover.
Yet vexingly, her body rebels against her vow to remain immune to his
many charms. If only she could reform the infuriating nobleman--without
diminishing his undeniable allure. As Venetia discovers that a true rake
is hard to tame, Quinn faces an even greater challenge: winning his
wife's fragile trust . . . while defending both their lives.

"A sweet and tender romance with a perfect blend of adventure and
mystery . . . The repartee between the two protagonists--both of whom
are struggling to stay detached--is engaging verbal foreplay that
captures the heat of their physical attraction. . . . Readers will yearn
for the lovers to at last be able to devote their sincere and thoughtful
attention to each other."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
