After years of heroism in the fight against the French, Ash
Denison wants nothing more than to savor the good life. But
an urgent request has sent him to a writer’s symposium. His
charge: to unmask an author who has rattled several members
of the ton by revealing their most intimate, most
scandalous secrets. Not one to be left out, when Ash
encounters a bold, beautiful–irresistibly aloof–woman
writer, he can’t help stirring up some gossip of his
own. . . .
Much to Eve Dearing’s surprise, Ash is far from the well-
mannered gentleman she’s heard about. In fact, he’s
shockingly brash and has taken an inexplicable interest in
manhandling her at every turn. Yet something about his
searing embrace makes her forgive his wicked behavior–and
succumb to his dangerous seduction. And when a fellow
writer is brutally attacked and Eve becomes the killer’s
next target, Ash surprises her once more by vowing not only
to keep her safe . . . but to win her heart.
