Captive — Joan Johnston

Lionel Morgan, Earl of Denbigh, had been betrayed once at the altar and vowed that no female would ensnare him again. Then Charlotte Edgerton burst into his life. He was to be her guardian. Her protector. But Denbigh wasn't prepared for this headstrong American-- or the passions she inspired on first sight. He knew only that he had to civilize her, present her at court, and Almack's then marry her off to the highest bidder. It wasn't until he nearly lost her that he realized the truth: She'd somehow reversed their roles and become the captor--of his heart.
