The Earl Plays with Fire

About this book

The young Richard Veryan had been heartbroken and bitter after unrivaled beauty and childhood friend Christabel Tallis jilted him three weeks before their wedding. Six years later, and toughened by adventure overseas, Richard, now a lord, is very much his own man. But when he and Christabel meet once again, dangerous temptation hangs in the air. Richard sees his chance to teach Christabel a lesson. He'll prove to her that he can still command her body, mind and soul, then he'll be the one to walk away. -- back cover.
