Surrender

From the dazzling ballrooms of glittering London  society to magnificent, cursed estate in the  distant wilds of Yorkshire, comes the deliciously  wicked story of a thoroughly unconventional courtship  -- and a thrilling midnight rendezvous that could  only lead to love... At four and twenty Victoria  Huntington thought herself quite adept at fending  off fortune hunters... until she came under siege  from Lucas Colebrook, the darkly disturbing new Earl  of Stonevale. Amidst the brightly plumed birds of  the town, Lucas was a hawk. And when he held out  the lure of moonlit rides and wild, reckless  midnight escapades, Victoria found herself powerless to  resist. But becoming Stonevale's companion in  adventure was far more dangerous undertaking than  Victoria could ever imagine. For the attractive Earl  would use her every weakness to woo her, to win  her, and ultimately to wed her. And soon the  amber-eyed lady would find herself ensconced in a  crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside... where  the real reason for her hasty marriage becomes all  too apparent...and where the ghosts of her  dark-stained past are waiting to rise up in a terrifying  plot that will threaten her life, her honor, and  the only man she could ever love.
