About Devil's Embrace

CITY OF SIN For beautiful 18 year old Cassandra Brougham, the seething city of Genoa, Italy, seemed a world away from the great 18th-century English estate where she was raised--and the closest she had ever come to purgatory. Cassie was no longer an innocent when she arrived there with 34 year old Lord Anthony Welles, the brutally handsome aristocrat who had seduced and stolen her from her intended, 26 year old Edward Lyndhurst. Still, she was not prepared for what awaited her in this foreign place where she was being held captive by a lover who swore he would conquer her heart as he had conquered her body. Thus Cassie's trial by the fire of passion began--as the man she detested made her a slave of desire...as an unknown enemy wreaked revenge upon her...and as she desperately plotted a way to cross the seas to a man she no longer could be sure she loved...
