Today and New
York Times bestselling
author Karen Ranney’s second novel in her breathtaking series, an
unconventional woman and a former scoundrel embark on a daring
mission of desire.
Once the ton’s most notorious rake, Dalton MacIain has returned from his expedition to America during the Civil War-wounded and a changed man. Instead of attending soirees, he now spends his time as a recluse. But Dalton’s peace is disturbed when Minerva Todd barges into his London townhouse, insisting he help search for her missing brother Neville. Though Dalton would love to spend more time with the bewitching beauty, he has no interest in finding Neville-for he blames him for his injury.

But Dalton’s peace is disturbed when Minerva Todd barges into his London townhouse, insisting he help search for her missing brother Neville.

Minerva
has never met a more infuriating man than the Earl of Rathsmere yet
she is intrigued by the torrid rumors she has heard about him…and
the fierce attraction pulling her toward him.
Dalton
does not count on Minerva’s persistence-or the desire she awakens
in him, compelling him to discover her brother’s fate. But when
danger surrounds them, Dalton fears he will lose the tantalizing,
thoroughly unpredictable woman he has come to love.
EXCERPT;
“Of
course not. I just don’t want to kiss you.”
“Not
at all?”
“Not
one little bit. Not an iota.”
“No
curiosity about what it might be like to kiss the man Queen Victoria
said was most certainly the worst rake in all of London?”
“No.”
“You’re
fibbing, Minerva.”
“I’m
not.”
He
lowered his head, brushed his lips over her heated cheek. To his
surprise, she didn’t move away. Slowly, he traced a path to her
lips, breathing against them before placing his mouth on hers.
A kiss
should be an appetizer. A kiss was a prelude, strings being tuned in
an orchestra pit, dawn on an important day.
A kiss
was not a feast. A kiss was not an explosion of the senses. But this
one was.
He
could smell her, that hint of earthiness mixed with her new perfume.
Her skin was warm against his fingertips, her cheek heating as he
inclined his head slightly to deepen the kiss.
Her
mouth opened slightly on a gasp.
He
wanted to banish her sorrow, the pain Neville had caused her. He
wanted to change the tenor of her thoughts, give her something to
replace her dread.
He
could give Minerva passion. That’s the gift he could give her.

Info
Karen
Ranney began writing when she was five. Her first published work was
The Maple Leaf, read over the school intercom when she was in the
first grade. In addition to wanting to be a violinist (her parents
had a special violin crafted for her when she was seven), she wanted
to be a lawyer, a teacher, and, most of all, a writer. Though the
violin was discarded early, she still admits to a fascination with
the law, and she volunteers as a teacher whenever needed. Writing,
however, has remained the overwhelming love of her life.
