The Art of Tempting a Marquess

Katherine Norwood is an alluring lady who was always told how special she is. Little did she know that her peaceful life would suddenly be interrupted by a well-buried secret of her past. One fateful day she discovers that she is the long lost daughter of an earl. Although she is more than thrilled at the chance to start life anew, her entrance into British high society bewilders her from the beginning. When Katherine encounters the elusive Marquess of Thorburn, she can not deny her smoldering passion for him. Yet, even though he ignites her desires in a way she has never experienced before, the Marquess is known to be a rake. Will this be the beginning of a lustful journey or will his wavering attentions cause her to lay aside her hopes for a chance at love?

Love was never on the cards for James Rhodes. The notorious Lord Thorburn had been suffering from boredom, as he has grown weary of high society's machinations and games. However, his life is about to change forever, when the alluring Katherine catches his eye. His interest is piqued by her magnetic beauty and her forthright innocence, but his old habits are hard to break. He knows he is playing a dangerous game with her, so he adopts a cold demeanor feeling that he does not deserve the love of such a lady. However, taming his feelings seems impossible and he soon finds himself incapable of denying his lust for her. Will he finally break all the barriers that wish to keep them apart and surrender to a passion too overwhelming to resist?

When James and Katherine finally realise they may have found their soulmate, her father objects due to Jame's rakish past. As if that was not enough, the evil schemes of a sly and manipulative woman will threaten to tear them apart forever. It seems as though nothing can save their fragile, flaming love. Can this undeniable desire between them really be buried? Or will they build a new future together that eclipses the world from which they both wish to escape?
