Description
When determined Jessica Trent sets out to rescue her foolish brother from the corrupting influence of Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, she expects a battle of wills—not an all-consuming attraction to the arrogant, amoral scoundrel himself. A scandalous public encounter leaves them both compromised and forces an unwanted marriage, trapping the headstrong bluestocking and the cynical lord in a union neither anticipated. As Jessica challenges everything Sebastian believes about himself and love, he finds his carefully constructed emotional walls crumbling beneath her considerable charms. With witty banter masking deeper vulnerabilities and passion igniting between them, both must confront whether their marriage of convenience can transform into something far more dangerous: genuine connection. Loretta Chase delivers a sparkling historical romance where two formidable characters discover that the greatest scoundrel of all might be the one who steals your heart.
