Utgivarens beskrivning
With his striking good looks, Ross Trevenan was one of the most attractive men Tessa Lorimer had ever seen. But five minutes in his company convinced her he was the most arrogant, infuriating man alive. That's why it was such a shock to discover Trevenan's true purpose: hired to escort her out of Paris and back to England, he had sworn that he'd do anything to keep her safe--even if he had to marry her to do it. Now, finding herself a bride to a devastatingly attractive bodyguard seems more hazardous than any other situation she could possibly encounter.
Yet Tessa doesn't know that she holds the key to a mystery that Trevenan would sell his soul to solve...and that a vicious murderer will kill to keep.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tessa Lorimer seemed to be a source of trouble at every private ladies academy she attended. The rebellious ward of a puritanical aunt and uncle, Tessa renders one final blow to her reputation by supposedly eloping with the family's head groomsman. In fact, she has left England for France in search of her long lost grandfather who, as luck would have it, turns out to be one of the richest men in France. Now after several years, her grandfather is sending Tessa back to England, in the care of the most over-bearing (and, of course, handsome) man she has ever met. What Tessa doesn't know is that Ross Trevenan, a mysterious cohort of her grandfather, has vowed to protect her from a killer who may well have Tessa in his sights. Thornton (Dangerous to Love) offers a cleverly plotted intrigue, but she scotches it by making the heroine a childish shrew. Readers will find it hard to believe that the handsome and sophisticated Ross could be attracted to such a spoiled brat.
