He is England's most notorious rake. Known as Dare to his
friends, the wicked, outrageously charming Marquess of
Wolverton is a consummate pleasure-seeker.
But the seductive lifestyle is just his way of burying
painful memories of the dazzling actress who once shattered
his heart. When treachery threatens the Crown, Dare resolves
to use his former beloved to help unmask a deadly traitor.
Forced to betray the only man she ever loved, Julienne wants
simply to forget the tender passion they had known as young
lovers. But when Dare publicly vows to have her as his
mistress, she responds to his challenge with a vow of her
own: to bring the Prince of Pleasure to his arrogant knees.
As romantic adversaries, they play a provocative game of
seduction. As patriotic allies, they embark on a perilous
mission rife with danger and desire. And as their
unforgettable passion rekindles, together they discover what
Dare has long denied -- that true love is the greatest
pleasure of all.
