"Fourth book in Seducer series is a great story with real characters."

Fleur Monley believes that she can't feel passion, so it doesn't bother her at all to form an alliance with England's most well-known libertine, Dante Duclairc. Yes, he's gorgeous and she really likes him, but it shouldn't be a problem to enter a loveless marriage with Dante.

Dante, who's desperately in need of funds, knows he can't do better than to marry Fleur. She's beautiful and he'd be the envy of his friends. But he's not too sure about the "in name only" part of the deal. He becomes even more unsure as unknown enemies target Fleur and they work together to solve the mystery.

As you know, I'm a big Ms. Hunter fan, and this book lived up to her tradition of a good story with extremely likable and real characters. Dante is indeed a charmer, and reformed playboy stories are always a favorite of mine!

Summary

Wearing nothing but a man's nightshirt, Fleur Monley woke to find herself in the bed of England's most charming and reckless libertine. But it was stray gunshot, not passion, that put her at the mercy of a man as infamously handsome as he was famously talented in the arts of love. Believing herself immune to any seduction, Fleur thought herself perfectly safe to make him an offer no sensible woman would dare risk: half her fortune for the freedom she would gain by being his wife—in name only. Desperately in need of funds, Dante Duclairc could do worse than the "white marriage" proposed by this idealistic beauty too naive to know the danger she courted. But the rashest thing he ever did was tell himself he'd be able to resist the invitation to sin that this lovely innocent would arouse at every turn—or that he'd be able to protect her from both the enemies that ruthlessly sought her ruin, and his own dangerous desire.
