"A battle of wills! When Lady Sara Herriard's husband dies in a duel, she turns her back on the vagaries of the ton. From now on, she will live as she pleases. She won't change for anyone--certainly not for the infuriating Lucian Avery, Marquess of Cannock! Lucian must help his sister recover from a disastrous elopement and reluctantly enlists Lady Sara's help. She couldn't be further from the conventional, obedient wife he's expected to marry, but soon all he craves is for her to surrender--and join him in his bed!"-- Page [4] of cover.
