Runaway Magic — Deborah Gordon

PASSION FORESEEN
A young woman once revealed Susannah "Sukey" Stone's romantic fate to her. Now, years later, the fiery American schoolteacher still eagerly awaits the coming of her dream lover: a strong, honorable, intelligent man, as handsome and as perfect as a male could be.

Surely Luke Wyndham is not the one foretold. He is, after all, a detestable cad with a murderous reputation -- and the most arrogant, infuriating lord ever to emerge from Victoria's England. But something in Luke's blazing green eyes stirs Sukey to her very soul. And the secrets of his guarded heart are drawing Sukey beyond the rumors and shadows into a perilous, rapturous realm of undreamed of passion and predestined love.
