Passion and Pride

Passion will bring them together...but pride may rip them apart. Dashing aristocrat Evan Blake has seduced some of London's most beautiful women, but he has one ironclad rule: never touch a servant, because she must say 'yes' or risk losing her livelihood. That rule is sorely tested the day Marian Willows comes to work at Blakewell Manor. Mischievous, smart, and independent, Marian challenges everything Evan thought he knew about women, life, and love. But reality cannot be ignored. Master and servant, aristocrat and commoner...even as passion unites them, society's rules and the couple's own prideful natures tear them apart. When Marian's life is in danger, will Evan risk everything he has - his money, his title, his life - to save the woman he loves? Set in England and Paris during the years of the French Revolution, PASSION AND PRIDE is about illicit desire, forbidden romance, and a love that conquers all. 83,000 words. Warning: contains several very explicit sensual scenes.
