Silver Splendor — Barbara Dawson Smith

Elizabeth Hastings seethed with fury. Lord Nicholas Ware had the effrontery to call her wanton... then try to seduce her himself. No man, no matter how handsome and powerful, should dare such an outrage. Yet no man had ever touched her as profoundly as did he.

Nicholas struggled to maintain control. His title and position put him far above Elizabeth, the maverick American beauty who spurned convention and defied his authority. But he clung to the delicious, forbidden rapture of he kiss and, claiming her as his own, he vowed to unlock the secret of her mysterious heritage... and save her from the elusive evil that threatened her life.
