He was dazzlingly handsome, fabulously wealthy and superbly self-assured, with all that it took to win any woman he wanted. Fancy could only be happy that he could not possibly want her when the stunning Lady Celeste Standon made herself so very available to him. Because though Fancy told herself she was fully prepared to resist the advances of this man armed with so many weapons of attraction and snares of seduction, she trembled at what might happen should she be put to the test....
