Richard Wexton, Duke of St. Austin, is an honorable man,
but the man he is dealing with is less than honorable. He
expects to pay off his brother's debts when he visits
Thaddeus Jamison, but instead the miller threatens his
family and blackmails him into marriage. Richard will do
anything to save his family even if it includes marriage to
the miller's daughter, Leah. After all, she does come with
a sizable dowry. However, when he sees Leah, he realizes
that she is a true prize. She is a beautiful woman of
spirit, and she seems to stir something inside him. Will
he tame the feisty woman who will become his wife or will
she tame him? Will this be a love match after all?
Leah Jamison is a dutiful daughter, but she never thought
her father would arrange her marriage to a duke. She knows
that there is some kind of trickery involved, but she is
not sure what. When she confronts the duke to try to break
the arrangement, he assures her that he is happy with the
marriage and most especially pleased with her dowry. His
unexpected kiss sends a thrill through Leah, and she knows
that she will always crave this man's touch. She always
wanted to marry for love, not for money, but the duke is
someone that she will come to love which makes him very
dangerous to her heart. Will she ever be loved in return?
Or will Richard despise her for her father's deception?
Janmarie Anello infuses her historical romance with a bit
of mystery. Richard and Leah are loyal and honorable
characters, but some of her characters harbor secrets, and
they are willing to do anything to keep them hidden. It
seems that Richard and Leah are pawns in a game they do not
realize they are playing. The reader is easily caught in
the web of deceit, wondering what will happen next, and
watching spellbound as the game unfolds. A DANGEROUS MAN
titillates the senses with the promise of a scandal and the
passion of blossoming love. This is a fantastic read and a
book that was hard to put down.
Spirited and sensual, heiress Leah Jamison knew she would
marry one day, but
she had thought it would be for love, not because of her
father’s trickery.
Yet her anger soon melts into arousal when she experiences
the expert
caresses and bold kiss of the man who will become her
husband. Richard
Wexton is a duke, accustomed to command. Instead of
resisting him, all she
can do is ask for more…
...OR A WEDDING?
Richard Wexton, the Duke of St. Austin, is a man of honor—
and he is furious
at the idea of being blackmailed into marriage! Alas, he
had no choice but
to consent to the outrageous scheme. Then he sees Leah for
the first time: his bride-to-be is a beauty
beyond compare. He cannot ignore his feelings of ardent
desire—and
passionate love…
