Claire Ashcroft has good reason to despise Viscount Grayson Sutherland—and not because of his arrogance, charm, and irresistible allure. A wildly unpredictable man with a frightening reputation, Sutherland is responsible for the death of someone Claire loved deeply. She'd kill him if she could. Instead, she'll employ her feminine wiles to make him pay. And once he's deeply, irreversibly in love with her, she'll shatter his vulnerable heart and leave him broken. Her scheme works perfectly... too perfectly.

For who would have imagined that beneath Sutherland's dangerous exterior was a lost man haunted by his sins?

Or that one night in his arms would ignite a scandal so dire she'd be forced to wed the handsome blackguard?

Or that she'd find herself helpless, falling under the spell of the very rogue she means to destroy?
