The Lion's Lady

She has taken London society by storm. Christina Bennett... the ravishing beauty with the mysterious past. Rumor whispers she is a princess from a far-off kingdom on the continent. But only she holds the secret --until the night Lyon, Marquis of Lyonwood, steals a searching, sensuous kiss. A proud, arrogant nobleman with a pirate's passions, he tastes the wild fire smoldering beneath Christina's cool charm and swears to possess her before he is done. ..

But Lyon soon discovers that his dream of conquest will not be easily satisfied. The feisty and defiant Christina has no fear of him--or of any other man. She alone is master of her heart, mistress of her fortune. And though Lyon's hungry caresses dizzy her senses though his fierce embrace arouses her desire... she will not surrender to his love. For if she does, she must also forsake at last her precious secret--and her promised destiny!
