In New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney's
second novel in her breathtaking series, an unconventional
woman and a former scoundrel embark on a daring mission of
desire
Once the ton's most notorious rake, Dalton
MacIain has returned from his expedition to America during
the Civil War—wounded and a changed man. Instead of
returning to his old haunts, he now spends his time at home.
But Dalton's peace is disturbed when Minerva Todd barges
into his London townhouse, insisting he help search for her
missing brother Neville. Though Dalton would love to spend
more time with the bewitching beauty, he has no interest in
finding Neville, whom he blames for his
injury.
Minerva has never met a more infuriating man
than the Earl of Rathsmere, yet she is intrigued by the
torrid rumors she has heard about him . . . and the fierce
attraction pulling her toward him.
Dalton does not
count on Minerva's persistence, or the desire she awakens in
him, compelling him to discover her brother's fate. But when
danger surrounds them, Dalton fears he will lose the
tantalizing, thoroughly unpredictable woman he has come to love.
