Mad for Love — Lynne Connolly

The fight for their love will be a battle of Olympian proportions.

Wherever he goes, Blaize, Marquess of Stretton, hears the jingle of keys as society mothers lock up their daughters. No wonder: he is secretly the embodiment of Bacchus, god of wine and madness. Yet his melancholic heart is lonely. Until he enters a ballroom, hunting for the Titans who destroyed his father. One look at Lady Ariane Wells and he is consumed with an instant, almost violent compulsion to protect her from the attentions of another man who smells of Titan-Marcus, Duke of Lyndhurst. Ariane is no shy debutante. She knows what she wants, and it is the stunningly handsome Blaize, even if it means defying her powerful mother. When Blaize disappears, Ariane embarks on a treacherous cross-country chase to find him, knowing that if she fails, she must marry her mother's choice: Marcus. Now that Blaize knows the true identity of his captor, he will fight for Ariane even if it means using his terrifying ability to drive everyone around him insane-including himself. For if he doesn't save her, he will truly go insane-forever.

Warning: Contains a rake who can make a woman's good sense completely melt away, and a debutante who isn't afraid to spread her wings to fly in the face of convention. Could make even the bluest blood boil.
