Publisher's Synopsis
"For years, the Marquis of Vane has hungered for Lady Sarah from afar, watching the beauty brave a disastrous marriage. Then Sarah's wastrel husband makes Vane an indecent offer--one night with Sarah for ten thousand pounds--and the temptation is almost too great... When Sarah comes to him, Vane can't resist making love to her--on his own terms. Nor can Sarah refuse a night of exquisite pleasure with the devastating man who haunts her dreams. By morning, Sarah's desire turns to shame and a deep fear of Vane's power to bind her. Desperate, she does the one thing that will stop him from claiming her as his own--leaving him shattered by her betrayal. But neither she nor Vane dreamed their passionate encounter would set the stage for murder and that a deadly twist of fate could spell a lifetime of regret--or a love to last all time..."--p. [4] of cover.
