From the back cover: Widowed twice, Countess Angelica knows with a shivery certainty that her second husband was smothered as he slept. Fearing the same fate, Angel must deceive the hungry suitors eager to claim her wealth. She plots to stage a marriage to the one man ruthless enough to help her, then hunts and captures Yorkshire's most notorious outlaw....

Merciless to his enemies, the Devil of Midnight strikes a handsome bargain to act as Angel's new husband. Yet her mere presence soon sends him into the throes of rapture, as she revels in his seductive charms and begins to uncover his guarded secrets. Though their marriage may be false, their desire is torturously real, drawing innocent angel into the Devil's arms to find the heaven only true love can bring.... But when Angel is accused of murder, and the Devil's identity is revealed, the loving rogue must make the ultimate sacrifice to shield his Angel, and their undeniable passion, from the wrath of King John....


--This book wasn't half bad, despite the use of "throes of rapture" in the cover description. ;)
