Obsessed by Nicole's daring conduct and sensuality but bound by the dictates of duty and honor to another woman, Hadrian resolves to have the raven-haired beauty as his mistress...though never as his bride.... But Nicole will be no man's plaything. She will risk pain and heartbreak to satisfy her wild, uncompromising passion - determined to win the handsome Duke's unwavering devotion...and his undying love.
