Annelise Kempton desired nothing more than to come between this despicable rogue and the fortune (and virtue) of her young charge.Certainly, Annelise understood the desperation that comes from hard times, but Montcalm would fail–she would personally see to it. All that stands in her way is a man whose rakish charm could tempt a saint to sin, or consign a confirmed spinster to sleepless nights of longing…to give the devil his due.
