The Skilled Seduction

Tristan MacAlistair presents himself as a model of polite, well-bred restraint, but he keeps dangerous secrets that he will go to great lengths to guard. Lady Victoria Montgomery has admired him from a distance for years and is determined that he finally notice her. She devises a clever scheme to win his attention, and it works, but she soon discovers that the man she has idealised is not who she imagined. Tristan tries to resist his growing desire for her, yet he is consumed by the wish to claim her completely. When she turns down his proposal of marriage, he takes drastic steps to get what he wants. Their troubles deepen as old ghosts from his past resurface, fed by spiteful gossip and a dangerous enemy who threatens their family. Tristan, a man who has never wanted commitment, must face the possibility that he has lost his wife's love.
