Michael is the most exciting man Brea has ever known, and the attraction between them is undeniable. A "modern" woman, she sees nothing wrong in initiating an affair, but when Michael unexpectedly inherits the family dukedom, the marriage of convenience Michael proposes is anything but, and Brianna suddenly finds herself falling in love with a man she vowed never to trust with her heart.

Back Cover Synopsis:

To want him was madness...

Far from home was the last place Brianna Donally ever imagined she'd find the one man she'd desire above all others. When Major Michael Fallon, the dangerously seductive British officer, rescues the bold beauty from certain doom, Brianna discovers a reckless passion she is unable to resist. But a fiercely independent female photographer could never make a proper bride for the grandson of a duke. And a bitter betrayal has locked love away from Michael's heart forever.

To deny her was impossible...

And yet...Michael cannot disregard these sensual stirrings. Could it be the moonlight that has bewitched him...or the intoxicating scent and touch of this remarkable, infuriatingly "modern" woman? Scandal would be the least consequence of their consummated passion—there would be perils as well. For Michael will never settle for anything less than a true, intense, and all-consuming love.
