About Diamonds and the Arrogant Rake

Whatever happened to drab Elizabeth Corbett? She had married a cousin she didn't love to keep a family skeleton safely locked away... But now, newly gowned, housed, and, yes, beautiful, Elizabeth wondered why the dashing Lord Alex Waring had taken her to wife. — All London knew that he still favored the dazzling Morgana Tremayne, who was no lady at all! Here indeed was a challenge she hadn't considered. Suddenly Elizabeth realized that she had lost her heart as well as her hand. If she wanted to conquer this husband she barely knew, she'd learn to fight with the enemy's weapons ... and win at the enemy's games.
