What should a proper lady do when she believes her days are numbered?
Step One: Take a Lover . . .
After being told she will not survive beyond the year's end, prim and lovely Marguerite Laurent intends to live what remains of her life to the very fullest. Though she may never know love, she will know passion—and she agrees to a whirlwind romance with a former admirer. But hours before embarking upon her grand adventure, Marguerite is abducted—by an unscrupulous rogue who boldly announces his intentions to bed and wed her before the week is out!
Step Two: Live With No Regrets . . .
Ash Courtland pulled himself up from the gutter to become a successful man of business, and now he wants revenge on his one-time partner for betraying him. Still, his enemy's bewitching daughter is most certainly not about to surrender her innocence to the infuriating—if shockingly attractive—cad who took her captive. Yet with no more than a touch, Ash makes her tremble with desire . . . and resisting the heat of his passion could cost Marguerite her last, best chance for ecstasy.

If you enjoy this genre I would also suggest: Seven Secrets of Seduction, Never Trust A Rogue (Heiress in London) and Storming the Castle: An Original Short Story with Bonus Content (short story).
When her estranged father asks her to come to London to meet her half-sisters, she agrees because she fears if she does not do it now she will never have another chance in this life. Her father's business partner Ash Courtland kidnaps Marguerite as a means of revenge against her dad for what he did to him. His plan is to take her for personal pleasure and use her to gain respectability having been a slum dweller as a youth, but he is attracted to her strong personality. As they fall in love, neither wants these feelings as both fear heartbreak and she also believes time is running out.
This is an entertaining lighthearted nineteenth century romance as the roles change when she wants him to take her virginity while he suddenly feels that would be wrong. Fast-paced from the moment that Marguerite learns she will die soon, fans will enjoy this engaging historical as Ash wants a lifetime but though she does too Marguerite believes it will be a very short lifetime.
Harriet Klausner
The emotional pull & poignant romance of this Jordan book made me finish this book in no time. The character started out with their own individual reasons for their r/s but it blossomed into a mutual & strong desire to be together. Hero in particular changed from being a self-interested & conniving rake to faithful & enthralled husband. I had tears in my eyes during her death scene & he was pleading for her life. Their steamy sexual chemistry & love scenes added to the strength of their romance. I liked how the repeated foreboding of heroine's prophesied death culminated in an unpredictable manner. I thought I knew how she was going to die but I liked Jordan's surprise.
Highly recommended.
