Book Description
At her discretion
When word reached Deirdre Fenton that her brother was pursuing the notorious actress Mrs. Dewinters, she immediately set about extricating her incorrigible sibling from his latest folly. But her brother had gone too far this time for his - or her - own good. For Mrs. Dewinters was under the powerful protection of the reprobate war hero, the Earl of Rathbourne...the very man Deirdre had summarily rejected years before after nearly succumbing to his highly improper advances .And the earl was not a man to forgive an insult - or forget a lady as passionate as Miss Fenton...
At his mercy
If Rathbourne had learned one thing during his years fighting on the Peninsula, it was to get what he wanted by fair means or foul. Now he had Miss Fenton right where he wanted her: at his mercy. Since he had refused his honorable proposal of marriage, he would be more than happy to oblige her without the church's blessing. And in a manner he would make sure he found humiliating - and highly pleasurable as well...
