The Conquest — Edith Layton

A heart must be won...and cherished

A BODY BROKEN
Many times Alexandria Gascoyne has been called upon to nurse forest animals back to health-but never before have her brothers brought her a wounded man! Though pale and grievously injured, the unconscious nobleman in Alexandria's bed is as striking a male as she has ever seen. But this is a time for tender healing, not for fantasy and dreams that leave an innocent maid flushed and breathless.

A HEART REBORN
An angel has brought the Earl of Drummond back to life. Her smile is a delight, her touch is ecstasy. Yet freedom-loving Drum knows he must leave the exquisite Alexandria as soon as he is able. Being discovered alone with this stunning country miss could lead to only scandal ... or, worse, to matrimony! And Drum dares not expose her to the perils of his world. But how can he abandon this incomparable lady who mended his damaged heart--then conquered it with kindness, passion, and love?

Hero: Derek DeMacy, Earl of Drummond (Drum)
