Description: "All of London is abuzz with the shocking exploits of Thornton Matherton, Duke of Wyldehaven, a man as sinful and wild as his name. He plays fast and loose with money, drink, and women. Or does he? An impostor has tarnished Thornton's good name, and the real duke will not rest until he has proven his virtue. Abandoned by her aristocratic father when she was a child, Miranda Fontaine despises the nobility. Despite her distrust, she visits the Duke of Wyldehaven on an urgent mission. Miranda will do whatever it takes to pin down the notorious duke...even if it means seducing him herself. Desperate to escape the web of deceit and clear his name, Thornton cannot bear the distraction of Miranda's supple skin and alluring eyes. Her beauty will be his undoing...and her bed will be the site of his most wicked ruin..."--p. [4] of cover.
