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 writerβs 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, beautifulβirresistibly aloofβwoman writer, he canβt help stirring up some gossip of his own. . . .
Much to Eve Dearingβs surprise, Ash is far from the well- mannered gentleman sheβs heard about. In fact, heβs 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 behaviorβand succumb to his dangerous seduction. And when a fellow writer is brutally attacked and Eve becomes the killerβs next target, Ash surprises her once more by vowing not only to keep her safe . . . but to win her heart.
