Romance

A diplomat and a spy, the dashing Lord Langley is happy to be home after years spent abroad - but less so to discover the ladies he so callously loved and left have been anxiously awaiting his return. Hoping to put his checkered past - and his persistent ex-lovers - behind him, he proposes to staid, serious Minerva Sterling … and maneuvers her into a compromising position to ensure her assent. At the brazen rake’s mercy - since anything less than a wedding and her reputation is destroyed - Miranda agrees, but only under strict conditions: no more attempted seductions, no kisses, and no more scandals. But Langley’s a man ruled by passion, and not likely to submit to such constraints - especially when he realizes how fiercely he burns for his reluctant intended … and how willing he is to risk life itself to truly win her heart
