Publisher's Synopsis
She should not worry that the Duke was smitten with another woman, one more beautiful and talented than she; or that his mother was bent on keeping an iron grip on her son; or that his cousin, the devilishly handsome, rakish Earl of Lynton, made Serena feel as the Duke never did.
Desperately Serena told herself that wedding bells would drown out those discordant notes - even as the beating of her heart rose to a dangerous pitch in the presence and power of a man she could not afford to love.
