Has the Viscount chosen the right sister for his bride? What about Kate? Can this feisty girl protect not only her sister, but also herself from the depraved villain Anthony? Especially when she feels such anger and such desire every time she meets him? When Anthony's lips touch hers, she is no longer sure of anything...
