When a
terrible tragedy left her penniless and alone, Lady Astrid
Derring did whatever it took to survive. She fired half
her staff, borrowed gowns, and subsisted on cucumber
sandwiches from the galas she attended. She endured the
wagging tongues of the ton and the indecent
proposals from noblemen who deemed her ripe for the
plucking. Finally, she finds a way to escape the shame and
restore her good name. But it will require a dangerous
journey to Scotland, where she will come face-to-face with
danger . . . and a sinfully handsome rogue who may be the
greatest threat of all.
Any gentleman would lend
his hand to a lady in distress, but handsome, rough-hewn
Griffin Shaw is no gentleman, and Astrid is far from safe
in his company. Accompanying her through the Highlands is
a small price to pay for luring her into his bed.
Entranced by her boldness, enchanted with her beauty, he
is determined to thaw her cold heart. However, he soon
finds himself wanting more than a brief affair with the
proper lady. Nothing less than the total surrender of her
heart will satisfy him.
