Touched by Magic — Patricia Rice

Nothing could break passion's spell

SEDUCED AND CONQUERED

Lady Cassandra Howard was nearly ruined. He rakehell brother forced her to frequent the London demimonde, then tried to sell her into a marriage with a dissolute lord. Though the world believed her wanton, Cassandra was really just an enticing innocent, untutored in the art of love, naive about the temptations of a midnight embrace. So her desperate plan was foolhardy: to escape her dreadful fiance by trying to seduce England's most virtuous lord--"Saint" Wyatt Mannering--believing he would surely then wed her. Truly, the lovely Cassandra did indeed unleash the very devil in handsome Sir Wyatt..for his honeyed kisses not only taught her wondrous consequences of desire, it swept them both into love's magical pull.
