Book Description:
Marcus Pierce, a strikingly handsome aristocrat with a wicked reputation, inherits guardianship of spirited Arabella Loring and her two younger sisters - and immediately declares his intention to marry them off. But enchantingly defiant Arabella sparks frustration - and something deeply erotic - in Marcus. After matching both wits and swords with her, the possessive nobleman concludes this beautiful and formidable foe must be his.


Having sworn off marriage and men, Arabella wishes to be left alone to run her finishing school for young ladies. To that end, she boldly accepts Marcus's intimate challenge: if he can woo and win her within two weeks, she'll take her place in his bed as his wife. However, if she can resist his considerable charms, the Loring sisters will be granted their independence. Thus an extraordinary game of seduction begins....

This was my first book by Nicole Jordan and I have to admit I loved it. It was very well written and it followed what I feel is a normal romance novel outline, but it definitely had it's own uniqueness to it. I am about to start the second book and hope it is just as good.

Victorian times were very hard for women to be independent but our heroine succeeded. Very spicy & steamy parts.
