About the book
She was a vicar's daughter - and he was the Devil Duquesne. But when Lady Lily Bradshaw found herself in dire straits in a London hellhole, she knew Lord Guy was her last best hope - to save her sanity, safeguard her son and rouse her slumbering passions to a new dawn of desire!
There was something to be said for a woman with a mettlesome spirit...and Lily Bradshaw struck Viscount Guy Duquesne, who courted danger daily, as a kindred soul. Indeed, she'd survived abduction, imprisonment and hot pursuit to appear before him breechclad with a poignant appeal for help - and an irresistible request for his hand...in marriage!
