Publisher's Synopsis
Beautiful Elizabeth French learns both the pleasure and pain of love as the bride of James French. But when the irresistible and infamous libertine dies, Elizabeth chooses to wed a handsome lord, as different from James as day is from night: Sir Alexander Norrington is dark, where James had been so fiercely exciting. Elizabeth assures herself that this is for the best. Then she meets Marcus Sheridan, the Duke of Arlington, who, like James, sets Elizabeth's pulse racing - even as she desperately tries not to fall prey again to a man who would win her heart only to break it.
