'Revenge never tasted so sweet ...
'Since boyhood Nicholas Challoner, Marquess of Ranelaw, has plotted revenge against Godfrey Demarest for ruining his sister′s life. Now he′s nearing his goal, only to find his plot impeded by the most intriguing woman he′s ever met. Mysterious Antonia Smith, with her sharp tongue, dowdy gowns and lush beauty, proves a formidable opponent. Seducing Antonia forwards his designs, except he soon finds he wants her for herself, not as a stepping stone to vengeance. And when she discovers his wicked intentions, she′ll loathe him forever.
'For ten years, Lady Antonia Hilliard has lived a lie as the dour Miss Smith, companion to Cassandra Demarest. At seventeen, Antonia eloped with a man who turned out to be married. Her father disowned her, banishing her from her life as a pampered aristocrat. When the Marquess of Ranelaw, a notorious libertine, shows undue interest in Cassandra, Antonia vows to thwart him. She knows what tragic consequences ensue when a rake turns an innocent girl′s head. But Ranelaw is an irrestistible temptation and Antonia has always had a fatal weakness for rakes ...' (From the publisher's website.)
