Heart in Jeopardy

Bound by duty, torn by love ...

Miss Leona Leonard had never attempted anything so daring before ... disguising herself as a man and rescuing Lady Christiana Deveraux from kidnappers. But her heart beat even more wildly at the sudden appearance of Christiana's uncle, the scandalously handsome Nigel Deveraux.

Sir Nigel, now indebted to this bold beauty who had risked her life, gallantly offered his protection. But Leona yearned for something deeper--and gracefully refused. Until danger forced her to seek sanctuary at Deveraux's ancestral castle--where she discovered the passion beneath his honorable intentions ... and the soul-searing desire that would flame into a breathtaking love!
