After what seems to be endless war, the country of Maldania has finally won peace at great cost to the royal family and the people they are suppose to protect. Now that the borders are safe from foreign invasion, it is up to the sole living heir to rebuild his family. Prince Sevastian Maksimi must travel to neighboring England to find a bride who will one day be the Queen of Maldania. It is the duty he must perform for the health of his country if he likes the young lady or not.

Grier Hadley has always know she was the illegitimate daughter of some unknown man but she ignored the taunts of the other children because she knew her stepfather loved her as if she was his own. Life was difficult after the man she called papa passed away but she did what she had too to survive. Her world was turned upside down when her true father, a wealthy ring leader of London's underworld, appears in her life and persuades her to enter London's social scene. He promises her a respectable husband with the dowry he offers to the gentleman who marries her despite her tainted bloodline.

WICKED IN YOUR ARMS is a story of first impressions gone array and opposites attract. Sevastian sees a peasant in fancy dresses when he looks upon Grier and she sees a stuck up man who has had the silver spoon treatment all his life. Even though neither can stand the other the attraction between them is hard to deny. This story was a wonderful read filled with humor, passion, and lust for someone you know you can not have. The characters' personalities and circumstances have you rooting for them till the end. An excellent first book to what I see becoming a must read series.

Book Summary

For fiercely independent Grier Hadley, being the illegitimate daughter of one of London's most unsavory characters has only one advantage: an enormous, ill-gotten dowry.

Prince Sevastian Maksimi knows where his duty lies: he must find a well-bred young lady—one with a considerable fortune to her name—wed her promptly, and get to the business of producing an heir.

The last thing Grier needs is some unattainable prince curling her toes with his smoldering glances and wicked suggestions. As far as Sev is concerned, she lacks the breeding to become a princess. And yet one kiss from this arresting female is all it takes for him to realize that anyone else in his arms would be unthinkable . . .
