Lady Amelia Plume has many admirers. Too bad, they’re all fortune hunters and fops who could never provide the exotic adventures she craves. The ballrooms of Mayfair have become more appealing, though, since the arrival of Major Lucas Winter – an American marine with a dangerous past and a brooding air. Lucas is brash, arrogant … and scandalously tempting. Every thrilling kiss sparks deeper desire, yet Amelia suspects that Lucas has a hidden motive in wooing her, and she means to uncover it … by any means necessary. The major has come to London to find the cad who embezzled money from a naval contractor. The captivating Lady Amelia could be the key to Lucas’s quest, but what started as simple flirtation has quickly become a delicious dance of seduction. And when a rival jeopardizes Amelia’s reputation, Lucas must choose what he wants most: the chance to avenge his past or a future filled with fiery passion.
