Jonet Rowland, the Marchioness of Mercer is lovely, rich, andβit is rumoredβan unrepentant adulteress. And when her philandering husband is murdered in his own bed, it's whispered that Jonet is a femme fatale in more ways than one. It will take a dashing and honorable soldier to get Jonet out of this one.
When his scheming uncle begs Captain Cole Amherst to investigate the death of his brother, Lord Mercer, Cole flatly refuses. But it is soon apparent that treachery stalks Lady Mercerβs two innocent children. A man of God and a scholar, Cole reluctantly plunges into the viperβs pit that is Jonet Rowlandβs life, and finds that nothing could have prepared him for the lust she inspires...or the danger which surrounds them.
