From her arrival in Virginia, Baroness Merrivale, better known as Fancy, and Chance Walker cannot abide each other. She thinks he looks like a backwoods barbarian. He thinks she is a haughty upstart and, worst of all, the fiancee of the scoundrel who long ago destroyed his first wife. But the attraction between them is instantaneous and powerful. When Chance decides to seek revenge against his old enemy by seducing Fancy, his plans lead them both toward a murderous trap -- and unleash a wildfire love that sets Chance and Fancy free to taste nothing less than ecstasy.
