The handsome, rakish heir to a
dukedom, Lord Roland Northbridge Wilde—known to his friends as North—left
England two years ago, after being jilted by Miss Diana Belgrave. He returns
from war to find that he’s notorious: polite society has ruled him “too wild to
wed.”
Diana never meant to tarnish North’s
reputation, or his heart, but in her rush to save a helpless child, there was
no time to consider the consequences of working as a governess in Lindow
Castle. Now everyone has drawn the worst conclusions about the child’s father,
and Diana is left with bittersweet regret.
When North makes it clear that he
still wants her for his own, scandal or no, Diana has to fight to keep from
losing her heart to the man whom she still has no intention of marrying.
Yet North is returning a hardened
warrior—and this is one battle he’s determined to win.
He wants Diana, and he’ll risk
everything to call her his own.
