Heart of the Tiger
by Lynn Kerstan

One of the most beautiful women in all of England, Mira Holcombe has been presented with countless marriage proposals—and has turned down every single one. Ever since she was brutalized by the vicious Duke of Tallant, she has no trust to lavish upon any man. All she wants is to destroy the duke, but first she must resist the fiery passion stirred by Michael Keynes—the brother of the beast who has ruined her life...

What Mira doesn't know is that Michael, who has just returned from India, is intent on the duke's demise. But nothing prepares him for his encounter with the beautiful, tormented Mira Holcombe—or for the way she makes his blood burn with desire. He will do anything to protect her, but can he make her feel safe enough to surrender to the heat that burns between them—and reveal the dark secrets with which she guards her wounded heart?
