Whisper Always — Rebecca Hagan Lee

A passionate new story of danger, rescue, and a love that scandalized society...

Lord Blake Ashford had long ago stopped believing in fairy tales, but the first time he sees Cristina Fairfax, it's clear she needs rescuing--from a real-life prince rather than an ogre. Inflamed by her fiery beauty, the Crown Prince Rudolph of Hapsburg-Lorraine desires her at any cost--even if he has to buy her from her avaricious mother. Cristina's fate seems sealed--until she finds herself kidnapped by a most unlikely savior...

Confused by his tender feelings for Cristina, Blake is nevertheless determined to help her--but Cristina is less than grateful for his intervention, and all she wants is her freedom. Outraged by her stubbornness, yet beguiled by her intelligence and sensuality, Blake is inexorably drawn to Cristina. But their uncontrollable passion threatens to destroy them when it sparks a secret Blake had thought dead and buried, and soon the past stands between them and their dream of love forevermore...
