Once a river rat, Lady Simone Turnbridge's life changes
dramatically when she's acknowledged as the duke's
illegitimate daughter in his will. Made the ward of the
current duke, she's endured endless tutors for years before
making her bow to society. Having spent most of her
childhood around brothels, Simone has no patience for
society or the men. Simone plans an independent life filled
to the brim with impetuous acts and adventure. There will
not be a husband in her future, only lovers of her
choosing. While escaping a fire, Simone gets her first
taste of desire when she meets Tristan Townsend.
Tristan Townsend fled England and his drunken father's rage
years ago. Receiving word that all the male members of his
family are dead, Tristan returns home to accept the duties
of his title. Lying in wait is his stepmother with her
usual vicious behavior. Tristan welcomes the distraction
Simone presents. Never before has he met a lady who
brazenly admits her desire and her possible willingness for
an affair. Simone is a definite temptation worth any
scandal.
Intrigue interrupts their seduction and demands Tristan re-
confront the "Lockwood curse." Drawn into this web of
intrigue, Simone battles her recklessness and her inability
to embrace love.
Ms. LaFoy gives readers an impetuous and headstrong heroine
who meets her match with an equally dangerous hero. Plenty
of action and drama with this perfect odd couple as the
story builds to an exciting twist at the end.
Tristan Townsend has come home to London to assume his
duties as the Marquis of Lockwood after all the men in his
family have died. Desperate to rid himself of
the “Lockwood curse” and restore his family’s honor,
marriage is the furthest thing from Tristan’s mind…until
he lays eyes on an enchanting stranger and vows to make
her his…
Lady Simone Turnbridge—beautiful, bold, and with a
scandalous past—is not eager to be some wealthy man’s
bride. Some men want her hand in marriage; others merely
want her in their beds. She mocks them all with a twinkle
in her eye, knowing not one of them can tame her…
Tristan will do anything to have Simone in his bed and his
ring on her finger. Simone, who has sworn to let no man
control her, is held in thrall by her fascination with
this forbidden Lockwood. But it’s too late to walk away
now—when the promise of passion is so wanton, wicked, and
thoroughly wonderful….
