At Your Pleasure — Meredith Duran

BY CANDLELIGHT, SHE LURES HIM . . .

Glittering court socialites and underworld cutpurses alike know that Adrian Ferrers, Earl of Rivenham, is the most dangerous man in London. Rivenham will let nothing -- not the deepening shadow of war, nor the growing darkness within him -- interfere with his ambition to restore his family to its former glory. But when tasked by the king to uncover a traitor, he discovers instead a conspiracy -- and a woman whose courage awakens terrible temptations. To save her is to risk everything. To love her might cost his life.

AT SWORDPOINT SHE DEFIES HIM . . .

Lady Leonora knows that Rivenham is the devil in beautiful disguise -- and that the irresistible tension between them is as unpredictable as the dilemma in which Nora finds herself: held hostage on her own estate by Rivenham and the king's men. But when war breaks out, Nora has no choice but to place her trust in her dearest enemy -- and pray that love does not become the weapon that destroys them both. . . .
