To break a family curse and reacquire a stolen family relic, a noblewoman seduces a Scottish duke in this hot historical romance.
Lady Maura OโDonnell swore to her father on his deathbed that sheโd recover the Circle of Light, an enchanted Celtic relic that had brought the family prosperityโuntil it was stolen a century earlier by a notorious pirate. Now the pirateโs descendant, the Duke of Gleneden, holds this rare treasure, and Maura would give anything to get it back . . .
Alec McBride knows when heโs been had. Lady Maura tricked him into marriage with the expertise of a born seductress, and now sheโll pay for her treachery. Heโll ravish her, tempt her, tame herโuntil she sorely wishes sheโd never heard of the Duke of Gleneden. Caught up in their game of revenge, Alec and Maura never notice what is happening in their heartsโuntil itโs too late.
Their marriage may have been a farce, but there is nothing truer than their desire . . .
