Scandal's Captive — Mandalyn Kaye

Marcus Brandtwood is renowned for the generous trinkets he gives his mistresses -- right before he casts them off. But Lady Thacea Worthington is different! Her respectability is as genuine as her gentle smile, enchanting eyes and blue-black hair. So when she turns to him for help, but declines to share his bed, Marcus is determined to change her mind. Now, the more he sees her, the more he wants her...and the more trouble he realizes she is in. For Thacea is caught in a dangerous plot that stretches from London all the way to her exotic homeland. And suddenly; it is Marcus who is changing his mind. He no longer wants a mistress. He wants to make Thacea his own...and for a heart that has been Scandal's Captive.
