Defiant Mistress

In Belgium on the eve of Waterloo, the world seems turned upside down, but Louisa Varley must bravely face the truth. She is penniless and abandoned, and forced to become an actress--much to the horror of her suitor. . . and his older brother, Richard, elegant Lord Lyston.

Then the fire of battle clears. Louisa returns to peaceful England--only to find herself unwillingly but inextricably tied to Lord Lyston's family! He will dare anything--even briber}' and seduction-- to bend Louisa to his will. But she proudly defies him, fighting his thrilling caresses, determined to hide the secret of her growing desire...
