Spirited beauty Lilian Loring wants nothing to do with menβ especially eligible noblemen who want to court her! Love, she believes, guarantees heartbreak and is best avoided entirely, even if her unwanted suitor is the dangerously tempting Heath Griffin, Marquess of Claybourne. But Lily's protests fail to convince the persistent rogue, who can't believe any woman could resist his seductive charms. After all, didn't Lily melt under his scorching kisses? So why does she flee from him to hide out in the last place a gentleman would look for a lady: a house of scandalous repute?
In bold pursuit, Heath discovers his enchanting spitfire cheerfully instructing the demimonde in the art of deportment and manners. Now, the thrill of the chase is exceeded only by his powerful need to possess Lily as his bride. But their game of temptation and courtship has high stakes: Victory demands not only winning Lily's luscious body but her elusive heart as well....n
