They are London's most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marques of Grayson, are well matched in all things-their lusty appetites, constant paramours, wicked wits, provocative reputations, and their absolute refusal to ruin their marriage of convenience by falling in love. A shocking turn of events sends Gerard from Isabel's side; but later he returns. But he's not the boyish rogue who left, he's a powerful, irresistible man who may finally steal Isabel's heart.
