Desire
as essential as breath…deception as fragile as sanity.
Liam, the Earl of Windbury, had everything
when he held his secret lover in his arms. Until a feud between their families
left her dead, his body broken, and his sister married to his bitterest enemy.
Wracked with guilt, simmering with rage,
he’s spent a year in seclusion, seeing no one except a few servants as he does
his best to forget the past and patently refuses to think about any kind of
future.
When courtesan Violet Milford enters Liam’s
lair, she’s on a secret mission to gather information for Liam’s desperate
sister, who fears for his sanity, even his life. What she finds is a man
scarred inside and out, whose dark, controlling sensuality hides the kind,
wounded man within.
Violet awakens a sexual desire more
powerful than Liam has ever known, and her stories weave a spell that begins to
work its way past his defenses. But when the truth inevitably comes out, it
could well destroy the love that is saving them both.
