Publisher Description

A beautiful widow and a seductive rake play a dangerous game of desire in this Regency romance by the USA Today bestselling author.

Charlotte Griffolino knows a rake when she sees one, and the man her niece longs to marry most definitely qualifies. Stuart Drake is handsome, charming—and penniless. It is clear to Charlotte that he is only interested in her niece's inheritance. Having fallen prey to fortune hunters in the past, Charlotte is willing to do anything to stop Stuart . . . even if it requires seducing him . . .

With a Viscount title in his future, Stuart expects it should be easy to marry an heiress—and winning the approval of her guardian should pose no trouble. But the young lady's aunt Charlotte is far from the elderly matron he imagined. As his captivating opponent threatens to ruin his plan and his name, he is determined to fight fire with passionate fire.
