USA Today bestselling author Melanie George delivers a sexy new novel of dangerous delight, where England''s most independent woman meets her match in the ton''s most seductive gentleman....
Lovely Lady Bliss Ashton has her pick of the attractive, sophisticated men in Regency society...and she''s rejected them all. But when Caine Ballinger, the Earl of Hartland -- famous the length and breadth of England for his sexual prowess -- lays siege to her, she''s finally tempted to fall. Not just because of the passion he arouses in her untutored body; it''s also the hint of vulnerability she sees beneath the arrogant, dangerous façade he shows to the world.
Caine is only wooing Lady Bliss to win a bet, so he can regain his ancestral estate -- with the added attraction that by seducing her, he''ll get revenge against her father. All he''s interested in is getting her luscious body beneath his, then publicly shaming her. So why does he feel so strange when her gentle fingers stroke his hard body, or her soft words soothe his tortured soul? And when the bet is revealed, Caine has to choose...between his longtime dream and the woman he craves with all his heart.
