The wrong man!
Beautiful heiress Charlotte Castlemaine is just about to elope with the man of her dreams when fate takes a hand in the form of handsome Thomas Eltham, the Duke of Ellesmere. Only a few minutes in his carriage nearly proves Charlotte’s undoing.
Compromised by this passionate near-stranger in front of her father, she faces the prospect of certain ruin, until Thomas declares that they are engaged. Charlotte’s unbridled response to the Duke is bad enough; the fact that Thomas persists in making wedding plans even though he knows she is in love with another seems a disaster of the worse magnitude.
Thomas has admired Charlotte from afar, but little thought he would ever have an opportunity to marry her until he overhears his worst enemy plotting Charlotte’s ruin. Determined that Herbert Paxton will never harm another innocent young woman, Thomas secretly warns her father that Charlotte is trying to elope, and races to the appointed meeting place before it’s too late.
Thomas’s single kiss in order to make their supposed elopement look genuine sparks off an inferno of passion, jealousy, suspicion and revenge which can only have one outcome: the Duke, a former soldier, must fight for the woman he loves and all he holds dear in a cataclysmic battle that can have only one winner.
The question is, will Charlotte prove Thomas’s enemy, or ally? Can she ever come to love this stranger with kisses like fire? Or will she flee from the desire that blazes within her at his merest touch, scorching all reason and commonsense? Will Charlotte return to Herbert, or learn to trust the enigmatic Duke and help him in his quest for justice against the man who once tried to murder him?
