Two people scarred by their past, avoiding love like the plague.

Guy, Duke of Rotherham, has had one wife walk out on him and his young son, and has no wish to enter the matrimonial stakes again. But when he and Lady Isabelle Pennington are thrown together, he finds himself drawn by her calm demeanour and aloof beauty, despite himself. As his heart begins to thaw, he realises that she has got under his skin in a way no other woman has, and his ability to resist his attraction to her is becoming more difficult to control by the day.

Lady Isabelle Pennington has been put off men for life. Married off by her family to an abusive man thirty-five years her senior, she is now widowed and virtually penniless. His debauched lifestyle and treatment of her has left her deeply scarred and vowing that never again will she allow herself to be subjected to a man's domination. To begin with, Isabelle wants nothing to do with this cold, imposing Duke who has dragged her into his life, but then to her shock, she realises that he does not repulse her as her first husband had done. Indeed, for the first time ever, she finds herself enjoying the exquisite sensations he arouses in her. Yet she soon realises that to lower her guard would mean loss of the independence that has become so important to her. And that is something she can never contemplate.

But the flame of passion once lit, is not easily extinguished!
