Read an Excerpt from Seducing the Heiress
She vowed to resist him
Her wealth and beauty have made Miss Portia Crompton the catch of the season. Secretly determined to wed the maharajah’s son she left behind in India, Portia ignores the money-hungry bucks who ply her with bouquets and bonbons. But one suitor will not be deterred: Cloin Byrd, Viscount Ratcliffe. He is persistent and presumptuous – and wickedly tempting.
He vowed to have her
Colin has no delusions about romance. He’s a rogue, a womanizer, and a murderer, and seduction comes as easily to him as breathing. Portia’s fortune is an irresistible lure until Colin’s mercenary scheme bits a snag. Winning her dowry is no longer enough – he wants her heart and her passion. The more adamant she is in her refusal, the more determined he is to seduce her…
