About the book
She'll teach a master of seduction a lesson in love... Briony Langland had no use for the superficial games of the ton. She did, however, have choice words for London's most notorious rake when she caught him dallying with his Diamond of the moment in her uncle's library. She never thought that her bold set-down would only inspire his lordship to employ his considerable charms to awaken her own deepest passions. Now, even as Briony steadfastly resists, she can't deny her attraction to this devilish gentleman, and she begins to wonder if perhaps she could reform him. Hugh Montgomery, Marquess of Ravensworth, has never met a woman he couldn't seduce...and, just as easily, forget. But Briony, so self-possessed, so scrupulous, so determined to thwart him at every turn, has awakened something deep within his cold, self-serving heart — a desire to experience love. However, his generous offer of carte blanche is exactly the wrong way to approach the lady. His lordship has a few lessons to learn in the art of sweet persuasion. And Briony may be just the woman to teach him..
