He consistently got drunk at every turn, never recovered from his jealous outbursts and tricked her into sex every time they had it. He never changed. Meanwhile the heroine was perfect in every way and has all manner of doting uncles, even one who shows up randomly i

And now that he has besmirched Reggie’s good name, the hot-tempered lady has vowed to wed him. A golden-haired seducer, Nicholas has been hardened by a painful secret in his past. The exquisite niece of Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory, Regina Ashton is outraged over her abduction by the arrogant, devilishly handsome Nicholas Eden - and is determined to make the rogue pay…with his heart. Her fiery beauty stirs Nicholas as no woman ever has - and the rake arouses Reggie’s passion to an unendurable level. Such uncontrolled desires can lead only to dangerous misunderstandings…and, perhaps, to a love that can live only once in a lifetime.
