Victorian Era England...
As far as rash decisions go, it was formidable. But Lady Jocelyn
Rathbourne's will remains strong. If the only way to save her family's
estate and reputation is by aiming a small pistol at the Duke of
Calydon, then so be it. For Lady Jocelyn demands satisfaction - and she
will have it at any cost. Even if it means demanding the hand of the
intense and foreboding Duke himself....
But she's made the first move against a very dangerous opponent....
For Sebastian Thornton is no stripling to be trifled with. The lady has
played her hand. Now it's his turn. For Sebastian is in need of a wife.
And to find a wife with spirit and fire - even if she means to only
marry for his money - would be a great prize indeed. And he intends to
thoroughly take his pleasure with her... and demands his own
satisfaction in return.
