THE SINGLE-MINDED MISS

In the whirl of the London marriage mart, Miss Rosalind Dacey stood alone. While other young ladies used all their wiles to snare a husband, Rosalind did the reverse.

Sarah could find a thousand arguments against the wisdom - or likelihood - of so miserable an edict. For one, the duke's ridiculous masculine pride was no match for the sensuous power of her affection for him...as she counted on love to melt the last shred of his resistance to her passionate surrender…
