Under the dark and simultaneously seductive gaze of Clayton Westmoreland, Duke of Claymore, Whitney Stone will transform from a charming tomboy into a captivating woman.
With her recent triumph in the aristocratic circles of Paris, she returns to England to win the heart of Paul, her childhood love... only to discover that she has been "sold" by her bankrupt father to the handsome yet arrogant duke.

Enraged and with her dreams shattered, she adopts a provocatively defiant attitude towards her new master. But even when his smoldering passion touches her and sweeps her into a fierce storm of desire, Whitney cannot—and will not—abandon her dream of perfect love.
