Publisher Description
Enter the sensual world of Nicole Jordan’s breathtaking Regency romances.
He is her most wicked fantasy . . . and no proper suitor for a lady.
Since the night Trey Deverill’s stunning kiss melted her senses, Antonia Maitland has harbored a fascination for the infamous adventurer. But Deverill is nothing Antonia needs in a husband, and when he abducts her–for her own protection–and then shockingly proposes marriage, a battle of wills ensues that proves dangerously irresistible.
Antonia’s charming wit and vibrant beauty make her England’s most sought-after heiress. Yet it’s her fiery spirit and awakening sensuality that stir a need in Deverill so fierce he would challenge the devil himself to possess her.
From the glittering ballrooms of London to the splendor of the Cornish coast, Deverill sweeps Antonia into unforgettable passion. But a treacherous plot threatens their lives and their chance for the grandest adventure of all: true love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romance readers who believe "heavy on sensuality" equals "light on character" would do well to pick up the latest Regency by Jordan (Lord of Seduction), who deftly discloses her hero and heroine's depths even as they de-clothe each other. Again featuring the adventures of the Guardians of the Sword, a secret society pledged to protect the weak and fight tyranny, Jordan spotlights Trey Deverill, a handsome, virile, pirate-battling ship captain who returns to London to safeguard beautiful heiress Antonia Maitland. Antonia's father died mysteriously, and Deverill suspects her well-born fianc is involved. When Antonia rejects Deverill's warnings and her fianc sets Deverill up for murder, the captain has no choice but to abduct Antonia to secure her safety. In the process, Deverill discovers an unexpected danger: losing his heart to the spirited girl. Seduction, masked balls, houses of ill-repute and the stirrings of first love swirl into an intoxicating mix. Once more Jordan proves that she well deserves her reputation for delivering both steamy scenes and an emotional punch. Correction: In our June 20 review of Sandra Brown's Chill Factor, the publisher was incorrectly identified. It is Simon & Schuster.
Customer Reviews
Wicked Fantasy
3 1/2 stars I liked this book it had all the things I liked I loved Devarell and Antonia loved the way she was outspoken at first and said what she wanted, the bow and arrows in that time was so unusual. But the whole marry a noble even after they had many love scenes and it was obvious they were a good match I did not like especially when Trey was being so protective and caring it was like he was not good enough glad it ended well loved when she shot Lord Hewitt. I was also glad Caro was in it and the update on them I hope the next one updates all the previous Guardians.
