Having watched her mother languish away for a lost love,
Raven Kendrick vows never to surrender her heart. But when
her life erupts in scandal, she is forced to accept a
marriage proposal from the wickedly sensuous owner of
London's most notorious gaming hell. Though fiercely drawn
to her enigmatic rescuer, Raven battles to resist her
husband, whose caresses promise ecstasy beyond her wildest
fantasies.
To save the reputation of an innocent girl nearly ruined by
his brother, Kell Lasseter sacrifices his freedom to wed the
dazzling debutante. Long scorned for his Irish blood and
dark past, Kell cannot deny that this enchanting spitfire is
unlike other society misses...any more than he can quell his
smoldering desire for her. Torn between loyalty to his
brother and his growing feelings for his rebellious bride,
Kell must somehow free Raven's reluctant heart before they
can know the ecstasy of true love.
