Lucien de Malheur is out for revenge against the Rohan family. He blames the oldest Rohan son for the death of his step-sister and will stop at nothing to get even. His plan is to take Miranda Rohan, the only daughter in the family, and make her his wife. First he will ruin her. Then he will marry her, humiliate her, break her, and then not let her see her family. But he had never met Miranda Rohan. After learning his plan and agreeing to go with Lucien to save her family, Miranda decides to turn the tables on him by agreeing to go along with everything he wants. She knows that if she seems eager to do as he says, he may just change his mind.

I was a bit bored with the first 100 pages or so, but I thought the pace picked up after that and the story got more interesting. But this book may not be to everyone's liking. It features one of Anne Stuart's dark heroes. Lucien is a hero you either end up loving or hating. I could see the changes in him as he got to know Miranda and fell in love with her. Others didn't feel there was enough remorse for his actions at the beginning of the book.

Miranda is a wonderful heroine who makes the best of her situation. She has a quick mind and won't let anyone put her or her family down. My rating: 4 Stars.
