description: COULD A HOTBLOODED, HIGH-SPIRITED MISS RESIST HIM?
  
  A PEERLESS HEART
  If there was one man Madeleina never wanted to lay eyes on, it was the scoundrel who'd seduced her fashionable young stepmother and disgraced her beloved father. The spirited Scottish lass knew his name: Deveryn. Then she met dashing Jason Verney, and as he waltzed her into his strong embrace and plied her with his practiced charms, Madeleina forgot about scandals and betrayals. She was too besotted to ask the young man his full name and too much in love to guess that Jason was really Viscount Deveryn, known to the London ton as The Fallen Angel.
  
  A HEARTLESS PEER
  Jason Verney, Viscount Deveryn, changed mistresses more often than he changed his snowy cravat, but the profligate peer had never been smitten with love--until he met Madeleina Sinclair. The worldly reprobate couldn't believe his reeling senses when he first kissed the mischievous young chatelaine of Drumoak Castle. If he could trick her into a clandestine marriage, he could possess her virgin beauty and her castle as well. He expected the spirited minx's pulse to race in response to his burning kisses, but he never guessed that innocent Madeleina could foil his devious scheme... by fair means or foul. He never dreamed that she could capture the heart and clip the wings of her infamous, sensuous FALLEN ANGEL
