  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;Winner take all . . . &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Sebastien Deville, the debauched, dangerously handsome illegitimate son of the Duke of Grandien, has waited his whole life for revenge&#8212;and suddenly it is there for the taking. A competition sponsored by the ing has all the &lt;i&gt;ton&lt;/i&gt; talking. The winner will receive an immense fortune, a newly created title, sponsorship, and a well-born bride&#8212;everything Sebastien needs to reclaim his mother's stolen lands and to wield the colossal power itching beneath his fingertips. His victory is all but assured . . . until he meets Caroline.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Caroline Martin knows all about Sebastien, the legendary heartbreaker who leaves women weeping in his wake, and she is determined not to see him win the competition in which he would claim her friend as his bride. Yet sabotage is so very hard to concentrate on when the target's searing glances promise incredible pleasure and his skillful hands vow unimaginable desire. She knows the danger he presents, the temptation he offers, yet she is willing to risk everything for all she holds dear.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But Sebastien Deville will do &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt; to win . . . and Caroline's heart may become the ultimate prize.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

But of course the one that might win is the one that was pursuing someone other than the bride choice.  His choice then becomes, if he wins should he give it all up for her...

    <body><![CDATA[I have enjoyed Anne Mallory’s books in the past, and her latest release, The Bride Price, has an interesting set up with an amoral hero who is the illegitimate son of a Duke. Sebastian is so delusional and as anti-hero as you can get. He enjoys seducing the innocents and being as reckless as he ca...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58705045">more...</a>]]></body>
