No one quite knows where
Christina Bennett has mysteriously appeared from, but her beauty, lilting
accent and the intrigue that surrounds her takes society by storm. Brought up
by the Dakota tribe in the Black Hills of America, it has always been Christina’s
destiny to return to England and find her father. Adapting to rigid English
customs isn’t easy given her upbringing and more than anything, Christina
wishes she were back with her adopted family.
Lyon, the Marquis of Lyonwood is
not fooled or easily side lined by Christina’s charming evasions as his peers
are. He knows that something isn’t quite right with Christina’s story and is
determined to get to the bottom of her past. When they share a passionate kiss
at a society function, Lyon gets a taste of the fiery lioness behind her cool
exterior and becomes determined to lure this side of Christina to the surface …
