Description

A SINFULLY APPEALING RAKE

Lord Lucien Escher, is a renowed London rake who believes there is not a woman in the world who cannot be seduced, and is determined to prove it, come what may.

AN INTELLIGENT AND DETERMINED WOMAN

Madeline is determined to save her treasured ancestral home and has no use for love or the tricks of an unredeemable scoundrel. Against her better judgment, however, she is powerfully drawn to the elusive and dangerous Lucien, whose hard-hearted façade hides a tragedy that is slowly devouring him from within.
As Lucien and Madeline circle each other in a magnetic play of desire and denial, their passion will rise to a crescendo of longing and sacrifice that will change their fates forever.
