Is it possible? The breathtaking Lady Annabelle has
actually agreed to marry, sight unseen, a gentleman of her
father's choosing — the self-proclaimed "exceptionally
average" Miles Croft. The ton is aghast! After
scandalously toying with so many hearts, why is the
exquisite Annabelle chaining herself to the new Viscount
Pelham, a complete — albeit most attractive — stranger?
Could it be that her own heart has been irreparably
shattered, and she wants nothing more to do with romance?
Yet there is certainly nothing "average" about their
wedding night! There is magic in Mile's touch, and the
smoldering ecstasy it ignites threatens to consume them
both. Dare Annabelle dream this is the one passionate and
enduring love she ached for in secret, but never dreamed
she'd be worthy of? Might this tender, mysterious lover
truly be the scarlet lady's redemption — and could she be
Mile's as well?
