Publisher Description

The Devil was about to be tamed.

Her name is Hannah Reid. Born a commoner, she has been Duchess of Dunbarton ever since she was 19 years old, the wife of an elderly duke to whom she has been rumored to be consistently and flagrantly unfaithful. Now the old duke is dead and, more womanly and beautiful than ever at 30, Hannah has her freedom at last.

And she knows just what she wants to do with it. To the shock of a conventional friend, she announces her intention to take a lover - and not just any lover, but the most dangerous and delicious man in all of upper-class England: Constantine Huxtable.

Constantine's illegitimacy has denied him the title of Earl, so now he denies himself nothing... or so the ton would have it. Rumored to be living the free and easy life of a sensualist in his country estate, he always chooses recent widows for his short-lived affairs. Hannah will fit the bill nicely.

But once these two passionate and scandalous figures find each other, they discover that it isn't so easy to extricate oneself from the fires of desire - without getting singed. For the duchess and the dark lord each have startling secrets to reveal, and when all is said and done, neither will be able to say which one fell in love first, who tamed whom, and who has emerged from this game of hearts with the stronger hand.

"When I first started this book my thoughts were "oh no, not another spoiled, selfish heroine." But the more I got into the story the more I understood why she made the comments she did about herself (being beautiful, etc) and acted as she did. She had been taught this by her first husband to help build up her self-esteem because of what her sister had done and her father's non-support. And I started to love her even as the "arrogant, ice-cold Duchess." And as she started to find what the Duke (her first husband) promised she would she started to lose that facade except when she had need of it. And the hero, well, what's the old saying "he can park his shoes under my bed anytime." I know some readers were put of by the "park scene"--not me! I love my alpha hero."
