"Third entry in the Compass Club series is a winner!"

The waltz is different this time around for Lady Sophia Colley and Gabriel Whitney, Marquess of Eastlyn (East, to his friends). Their first waltz, over a year ago, was memorable only to her. This time it's magical because it's not a sense of duty for East to have her in his arms.

Convinced that the family fortune can be changed by marriage to a rich man, Sophie's cousins punish her for turning down East's proposal. The rejection is not personal. She must deny her attraction to East in order to protect him from the treacherous mystery surrounding her past. But the desire between them is impossible to deny, and Sophie's willpower must endure the ultimate test when East's mission is to make her his bride.

Ms. Goodman never disappoints readers. Her quality of writing is rare and must be savored. This third book in her Compass Club series is a gift for the heart and soul, filled with intrigue, tenderness, sensuality, humor and love. It's fascinating and highly original with the storyline of each book in this incredible series (LET ME BE THE ONE and EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED) running simultaneously instead of sequentially. The final chapter is coming in August 2004. I can't wait!
