Lady Verity Carlow is poised, beautiful, charming, virginal. Her family's precious jewel. She knows she will marry whatever titled bore is chosen for her. But sometimes, in the dark of the night, she wishes she wasn't always so well-behaved...Then she is snatched! Kidnapped by her family's enemy, gypsy lord Stephano Beshaley. And when this dark, dangerous unsuitable man takes Verity in his arms, he tempts her to do wicked, wicked things.
