USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell weaves a sensuous tale of innocence lost in this blistering romance about a young woman on the run and the lecherous cad she can't seem to resist

"I don't want visitors. But when the butler says the caller is a she, I spring to attention. The night just got a lot more interesting. Alas, my wicked hopes are dashed the moment I note her delicate, freckled face and Scottish brogue. Too chaste for my taste. And probably just looking for a handout. I was hoping for a hand job. Her parents dead, young Helia Wallace has come to see my mother, her godmother, for help with a dastardly cousin after her dowry. A likely story. But there's a snowstorm brewing, and she begs me to let her stay the night. I reluctantly agree. It's her reputation at stake, not mine. With the duke and duchess wintering elsewhere, I have Horace House all to myself. Free to do whatever I want. And what I want is Helia. The Marquess of Wingrave and virgins don't typically mix, but this one is different-too bad I could ruin her forever." --
