And of all London's ladies, he wanted the tender obedience of only one -- Caroline Richmond.She was a stunning beauty from Boston, with a mysterious past and a fiery spirit. Drawn to the powerful duke by his bold passion, she vowed to tame his presumptuous airs and win his lasting love. But Bradford would bend to no woman -- until a murderous plot drew them into a mystery they must solve, a trust they must keep, and a loving tenderness that must end their willful battle!
