The prodigal son of a nobleman returns home and is forced into a marriage of convenience in this Regency romance from a New York Times bestselling author.

Pretty Samantha Northrup knows it is her duty to marry -- but the chaste English vicar's daughter secretly desires to be swept off her feet by a man whose kisses leave her breathless. And when a seductive stranger arrives at her door one stormy night, Samantha's neat and orderly life is turned upside down -- especially when she finds herself in a most compromising position... and is forced to marry a man she barely knows!

Samantha is unaware that her mystery bridegroom is Yale Carderock, the dashing, disinherited rakehell son of a duke, banished by his father years before. Now Lord Yale has returned -- wealthier but only somewhat reformed -- and he is bewitched by his lovely new bride's awakening sensuality and innocent fire. But can this marriage of convenience be something more... and can a confirmed cad and society outcast truly change his ways enough to merit the lady's tender love?

"Lively dialog, concise writing, and an unusual slant on the traditional forced-marriage plot make this story of a tormented hero and a determined heroine one that Maxwell's fans will cheer." -- Library Journal
