When one of Cassandra’s scorned suitors slanders her reputation, Tom is determined to protect her. They continue to run into each other, and their physical and mental attraction proves too strong to ignore. But when Tom starts to feel more than lust, he abruptly ends their budding friendship to avoid the liability he feels his emotions pose on his cold, calculated life, leaving a smitten Cassandra confused and hurt. His pursuit leads the pair to grow close. Though she ignores his proposal, the shrewd businessman fancies her from just a glance and sees winning her as a thrilling challenge. That doesn’t stop railway magnate Tom Severin from asking for her hand within moments of meeting her. Lady Cassandra Ravenel has turned down many proposals, holding out for real feeling. Opposites attract in spectacular fashion in the sixth Victorian-era Romance in bestseller Kleypas’s Ravenel series (after Devil’s Daughter), which pairs a true romantic with a cynical intellectual.
