  <description><![CDATA[Silver-tongued Viscount Sanburne is London's favorite scapegrace. Alas, Lydia Boyce has no interest in being charmed. When his latest escapade exposes a plot to ruin her family, she vows to handle it herself, as she always has done. Certainly she requires no help from a too-handsome dilettante whose main achievement is being scandalous. But Sanburne's golden charisma masks a sharper mind and darker history than she realizes. He shocks Lydia by breaking past her prim facade to the woman beneath...and the hidden fire no man has ever recognized. But as she follows him into a world of intrigue, she will learn that the greatest danger lies within -- in the shadowy, secret motives of his heart.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Silver-tongued Viscount Sanburne is London's favorite scapegrace. Alas, Lydia Boyce has no interest in being charmed. When his latest escapade exposes a plot to ruin her family, she vows to handle it herself, as she always has done. Certainly she requires no help from a too-handsome dilettante whose main achievement is being scandalous. But Sanburne's golden charisma masks a sharper mind and darker history than she realizes. He shocks Lydia by breaking past her prim facade to the woman beneath...and the hidden fire no man has ever recognized. But as she follows him into a world of intrigue, she will learn that the greatest danger lies within -- in the shadowy, secret motives of his heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[Silver-tongued Viscount Sanburne is London's favorite scapegrace. Alas, Lydia Boyce has no interest in being charmed. When his latest escapade exposes a plot to ruin her family, she vows to handle it herself, as she always has done. Certainly she requires no help from a too-handsome dilettante whose main achievement is being scandalous. But Sanburne's golden charisma masks a sharper mind and darker history than she realizes. He shocks Lydia by breaking past her prim facade to the woman beneath...and the hidden fire no man has ever recognized. But as she follows him into a world of intrigue, she will learn that the greatest danger lies within -- in the shadowy, secret motives of his heart.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I *loved* this book. I think it's my favorite read of 2009 so far. The language is beautiful, the story smart. For those of you that thought Duke of Shadows was depressing, this is a lighter (but equally beautiful) side of Duran. James (Viscount Sanburne) is the rakiest rake that ever raked, and I l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59955246">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent historical romance set in late Victorian/early Edwardian England.  It was slow to get my attention (in spite of the overwhelmingly glowing reviews), but I stuck with it and oh-wow! what a great book. Two messed up, strong willed people who were soooo right for each other.  Great stuff. And...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61918709">more...</a>]]></body>
