About The Grand Passion

A passionate game... Convinced she was never to find her true Grand Passion, Tess Brownlow decided to marry Jeremy Beringer--and settle for extreme fondness. But fate intervened. For kind Jeremy died tragically at the hands of a drunken "sportsman" who found adventure in disguising himself as a coachman. And unwittingly raced his poor passengers to death. Perhaps if she had loved him more... married him sooner... but now all Tess could do was seek revenge. She would show handsome Matthew John Lotherwood what it was like to lose. Her scheme worked ... too well. Because the dreadful irony of the situation was that as she trapped her opponent--she trapped herself. For in the Marquis of Bradbourne she discovered the intoxicating blend of body and spirit that makes a Passion Gran
