About The Earl of Rayne's Ward

"I will have your obedience!" — Though they had once been the best of friends, Rebecca Standish couldn't tolerate Drum Thornville's outrageous demands. How dare he return seven years after leaving her to join the army and expect her to bend to his will. He was as overbearing, arrogant and authoritarian as ever, and she vowed to ignore him. But this was a goal that might prove impossible now that she was forced to stay at Rayne Park, Drum's residence, while her relatives traveled abroad without her. As her guardian, Drum might think he could control her behaviour, but that didn't mean that the handsome rogue had the right to steal her heart!
