For the earl, this scandalous scheme is a matter of honor, dutyand desire . . . A smart and sexy tale. New York Timesbestselling author Mary Jo Putney

Griffin Nash, Earl of Devonwood, wants to believe that hes seducing the tantalizing Miss Emmaline Farnsworth out of protectiveness toward his young brother. After all, if his brother is convinced that the professors daughter is unworthy of his trust, perhaps Teddy will lose all interest in such an inappropriate choice for his station.
 
But in truth, something else motivates Devonwood: a scintillating vision hes had of a future tryst with the lovely Emmaline. A vision too realistic to be doubtedand too scaldingly passionate to be denied.

Yet Emmaline is not as easily tempted as Devonwood might have hopednor is she actually in pursuit of a wealthy husband. No, the real reason for her visit to the manor is something much more shockingthough being enticed by a dashing earl may prove to be a most welcome by-product of her schemes . . .
