When Devon Brentton, Viscount Wilhelm, teasingly threatens to kiss Lady Lydia Covvington to ruin her day, it was meant as a jest. However, the proclaimed Ice Queen of London is in need of some thawing, and he is just the rake to do it. A little kiss is only the beginning; they soon find that their animosity towards each other hid a spark of attraction that bursts into flame. But Lydia is no meek miss. Learning from her mother’s awful experience with a philandering husband, she knows that handsome rakes never reform. She will never wed a man like Devon, but cannot deny herself the chance to experience the heat and desire, and—dare she think it—love, that Devon can show her. She strikes up a bargain he can’t resist; a journey of passion that will end with her marriage to an older—respectable gentleman, who will never break her heart. But Devon can’t let her go. For him, there is only one outcome and it ends with her seduction and her hand in marriage. However, Lydia proves not only rakes can break hearts, and when he thinks he has won her heart at last, she denies him. Devastated, he leaves England so that he will never see her and the man she chose over him again.
