To Tame a Dangerous Lord

February 1, 2010
Madeline Ellis had her pride. It was one thing to let Rayne Kenyon, Earl of Haviland, help her out of a difficult situation with a persistent suitor. Madeline could even accept Raynes assistance in securing her a job, since Madeline insisted on returning the favor by helping Rayne retrieve some letters from a lovely blackmailer. But Madeline simply refuses to consider Raynes offer of marriage, for the simple reason that Rayne says he doesnt love her. The devilishly handsome Rayne, however, is nothing if not persistent, and he soon convinces Madeline of the mutual advantages of a marriage of convenience. Now all Madeline has to do is find a way to seduce her new husband into falling in love with her! An independent-minded heroine matches wits and wiles with an equally determined hero as Jordan deftly delivers another lusciously sensual addition to her Regency-set Courtship Wars series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
