Surrender - Amanda Quick

From the dazzling ballrooms of glittering London
society to magnificent, cursed
estate in the distant wilds of Yorkshire, comes the deliciously
wicked story of
a thoroughly unconventional courtship-and a thrilling midnight rendezvous that could
only lead to love. . . .

At four and twenty Victoria
Huntington thought herself quite
adept at fending
off fortune hunters . . . until she came under siege
from Lucas Colebrook,
the darkly disturbing new Earl of Stonevale. Amidst the brightly plumed birds of
the town, Lucas was a hawk. And when he held out
the lure of moonlit rides and
wild, reckless
midnight escapades, Victoria found herself powerless to
resist.


But becoming Stonevale's companion in adventure was far more dangerous undertaking
than
Victoria could ever imagine. For the attractive Earl
would use her every weakness
to woo her, to win
her, and ultimately to wed her. And soon the
amber-eyed lady
would find herself ensconced in a
crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside . . .
where
the real reason for her hasty marriage becomes all
too apparent . . . and where
the ghosts of her
dark-stained past are waiting to rise up in a terrifying
plot
that will threaten her life, her honor, and
the only man she could ever love.
