From one of America's most beloved storytellers comes a classic love
story--the breathtaking tale of a man and a woman caught in a web of
temptation and seduction.
All she wanted was to escape the hot, crowded London ballroom. But
moments after stepping into the bitterly cold night, she is seized by a
pair of strong hands and spirited away. Fully expecting to be ravished,
sheltered Alexandra Purnell instead finds herself at the mercy of the
man who saved her from certain scandal. Edmund, Earl of Amberley, is
bold and sensual, tempting Alexandra to be reckless for the first time
in her life. But as passion ignites, Edmund's offer of marriage takes
Alexandra completely by surprise. Now a woman who craves her freedom
above all else is about to discover how far one man will go to protect
and possess the woman he loves....
