Ravishing Lysette escapes an arranged marriage to seek sanctuary with a man she barely knows - the dark and brooding Maximillian. In his arms, Lysette finds a passion she never expected...and secrets she can hardly believe. Can their love survive?
Lysette buried her face against Max's throat. "But he's going to take me away. Don't let him, don't- "
"You're not going anywhere," Max interrupted. "Calm yourself, Lysette. It's not good for you to become excited." His possessiveness made her strangely giddy. As far as he was concerned, she was his, and no one was going to take her away from him.
Max stared at Etienne. His voice was soft, but it contained a note that chilled Lysette's blood. "If you so much as disarrange a hair on her head, I'll tear you apart."
Lysette couldn't believe it, but she didn't care about her ruined reputation. The only thing that mattered was that she wouldn't have to marry Etienne.
As Lysette flees an impending marriage to a man she does not love and seeks sanctuary with a man she at first fears. Her brooding protector, Maximillian, is known for his dark and mysterious past - and Lysette finds herself destined to marry him instead - a man she hardly knows. But in his arms she finds a passion and a love she never expected. But she then discovers that she is the unwitting instrument of his sworn vengeance.
