From the back cover of the book: After his wife was brutally murdered and he was accused of the crime, Dominic Grayson's faith in humanity died -- and a craving for revenge was born. To punish the man who framed him, Dominic vowed to claim the Duke of Dalmont's prized possession--his young fiancee's virtue. But when Dominic kidnapped lovely Victoria Tarrent, his ruthless scheme was shattered by the torment of desire . . . . Victoria refused to believe in the deceit and violence Dominic swore Dalmont was capable of as a murderer, and the same man holding her prisoner in a remote cottage. Yet her captor's brooding silences aroused her curiosity--just as his seductive touch aroused her untried passion. Escape was impossible, but suddenly Victoria feared falling in love was not . . . . The book started off moving fairly quickly, but as it progressed the pace seemed to slow down. Frustration began to build with the couple's on and off desires. Too many misunderstandings, unspoken words, feelings held in tack. The ending was good and even had a little surprise that was totally unexpected to me. It was worth the read but not as good as some of Ms. Bradley's other books.
