When her brother challenges New Orleans's most infamous
swordsman to a duel, Celina Vallier boldly confronts
opponent, Rio de Silva, determined to thwart what would be
her brother's certain death. The legendary maitre d'armes
agrees... for a price--Celina's innocence.
Though Rio is captivated by Celina's beauty and courage,
she
is also the perfect pawn for his revenge. She is to be
betrothed to his sworn enemy, the Count de Lerida. And what
sweet vengeance it would be to take the bride before the
wedding.
But neither anticipates the tangled web of scandal and
danger that will soon follow. Devious plots are afoot, and
Celina is wary of trusting anyone, including the man whose
brazen sensuality tempts her to think of nothing but her
own
desires...
