From the beguiling author of Lady Dangerous and Lord of the Dragon comes an enticing tale of passion and intrigue that pits the daughter of a duke against a handsome stranger--a man who's part cowboy, part hero, and part thief...but altogether irresistible.

Only Nick had underestimated his quarry: it would take more than intimidation to make Georgiana see reason. It might even take falling in love....
