Product Description
On a dark and perilous road, a daring British adventurer saves the life of a countess of royal blood. In all his travels, Colonel Tyrone Rycroft has never encountered a woman as breathtaking, alluring, and inscrutably mysterious as the bewitching Synnovea. But his selfless bravery has drawn him into peril, and into an inescapable web of intrigue and seduction.
In an opulent and treacherous imperial court, the proud, headstrong lady's dashing champion has become a pawn in a dangerous game of power and influence - and only his great courage and wits will enable him to survive. But Rycroft's desire for Synnovea will not let him escape to the safety of his own world - not until his dream is realized, and the enigmatic, high-born beauty has given herself to him freely, honestly, and forever.
And, ultimately, it is Synnovea's own impassioned yearnings and rapturous, unbidden love that will betray the stunning, regal temptress - as she surrenders to the wants of a surprisingly tender and sensuous heart consumed by the fire she has ignited - but is powerless to control.
