This passionate, globe-trotting Regency is the third in a series concerning the Guardians of the Sword, an ancient and secret confederation of spies dedicated to preserving noble values. Generally, an abduction is not the usual start for a courtship, but Guardian Trey Deverill simply had to kidnap shipping heiress Antonia Maitland in order to save her from her fiancé, Baron Heward--the man Trey suspects of poisoning Antonia's father after he objected to the prospective union. And Trey just can't deny his powerful attraction to his unwilling captive, who perhaps is not so unwilling, after all....
Abducted by infamous adventurer Trey Deverill for her own protection, sensible heiress Antonia Maitland is irresistibly drawn to her seductive guardian, whose unexpected and shocking marriage proposal ignites a fierce battle of wills between two determined individuals. Original.

Review 1:
"...Jordan...deftly discloses her hero and heroine's depths even as they declothe each other....Seduction, masked balls, houses of ill-repute and the stirrings of first love swirl into an intoxicating mix. Once more Jordan proves that she well deserves her reputation for delivering both steamy scenes and an emotional punch."

"Jordan introduces a wickedly handsome and fiercely protective hero in Trey, who fights the demons what he really wants--a life with Antonia. And Antonia is his perfect soul mate in adventure, passion, love and zest for life." (TOP PICK!)
