The
story gets a little repetitive, here and there, and at times felt both
characters were running in circles. The repetition, however, is
easily forgivable when the characters have such depth and the scenery and characters are described so thoroughly that they are easily imagined. On the whole the story is entertaining.
The Duke of Kylemore
knows her as Soraya, London''s most celebrated courtesan. Men fight duels to spend an hour in her company. And only he comes close to taming her. Flying in the face of society, he decides to make her his bride; then, she vanishes, seemingly into thin air.
Dire circumstances have forced Verity Ashton to barter her innocence and change her name for the sake of her family. But Kylemore destroys her plans for a respectable life when he discovers her safe haven. He kidnaps her, sweeping her away to his hunting lodge in Scotland, where he vows to bend her to his will.
There he seduces her anew. Verity spends
night after night with him in his bed . . . and though she still dreams of escape and independence, she knows she can never flee the unexpected, unwelcome love for the proud, powerful lover who claims her both body and soul.
