Under Your Spell

She will entrance him with her beauty . . . and entice him to her bed.

Elegance St. James, Countess of Lanshire, has forsaken the dark machinations of London's secret covens for the respectable calm of Mayfair ballrooms. Intent on securing a tranquil future and a child of her own, the gifted widow seeks an unremarkable gentleman who will demand nothing of her battered heart.

She will test his composure with every stolen glance . . . and provoke his hunger. When Sir Drake strides into the salon, fresh from the carnage of Grand Port, his brooding gaze and battle-scarred physique shatter her tidy schemes. The cynical lieutenant does not bend to coquettish fans or calculated deceit.

Matching her defiance with unyielding grit, he will claim her heart. Drawn into misty midnight gardens and perilous alleys, Ella discovers that shielding her secrets from this relentless warrior might prove far harder than resisting his searing embrace.
