Urged by her favorite nephew, the intimidating Duchess of
Roxburghe agrees to transform a thorny Scottish rose into a
lovely bloom. But even she isn’t prepared for fiery Rose
Balfour.
At seventeen, Rose fell wildly in love with Lord Alton
Sinclair, known as Lord Sin for his wicked ways. Stung by
his indifference, the starry-eyed girl tried to win an
illicit kiss, but then panicked and pushed the notorious
rakehell into a fountain. Leaving Lord Sin floating among
the lily pads to the mocking laughter of his peers, Rose
escaped back to the obscurity of the Scottish countryside.
Six years later, Sin convinces his aunt, the Duchess of
Roxburghe, to invite Rose to her annual house party, where
he plans to get revenge by making Rose the laughingstock of
polite society. To his astonishment, he finds she has become
an alluring woman who threatens to turn the tables on his
nefarious plans. Thus Sin and Rose begin an epic battle of
the sexes that becomes more passionate at every turn.
Eventually, one will have to surrender . . . but to
vengeance? Or to love’s deepest passion?
