If they're to save their future-and their very lives-they'll need to trust in each other and their growing love. But the real threat to their happiness is one neither of the newlyweds sees coming. And when he discovers a clandestine rival for Dru's affection, his temperature flares even hotter. Gabriel even finds himself challenged by her unusual philosophies. First there's the delicious flush of her skin every time she delivers a barb-and then the surprisingly sensual feel of her in his arms. Still, something about Drusilla has Gabriel intrigued.

She's sharp-tongued, exasperating-and due to one careless moment-about to become his wife. And when Gabriel's heartless-and heart-pounding-proposal comes, it's enough to make Dru's formidable resolve crumble. So imagine her dismay when she finds herself in the clutches of a scoundrel, only to be rescued by Gabriel himself. But that doesn't stop the rush of desire she feels each time her best friend's brother, notorious rake Gabriel Marlington, crosses her path.
