Legend of the Four Soldiers

Even the most refined lady craves an untamed man to release her passion. Britain's high society-le bon ton-loves nothing more than a good scandal, and they're giddy with the appearance of wealthy Samuel Hartley. Not only is he self-made, American, and in the habit of wearing moccasins, but he is also notorious for fleeing a battle in which several English gentlemen lost their lives. What le bon ton doesn't know, though, is that Samuel is in London because of this massacre. He believes his regiment was given up to the enemy and won't rest until he finds the traitor. Lady Emeline Gordon is captivated by Samuel. Not only does he defy convention with his unusual dress, his sensual smile, and his forthright manner, but he survived the battle that killed her beloved brother. Samuel suspects that the person responsible for her brother's death is Jasper Renshaw, Viscount Vale, a family friend since childhood and Emeline's fianc├®. Despite Emeline's belief in Vale's innocence and her refusal to break off her betrothal, she and Samuel begin a passionate affair. But can their relationship survive the fallout from Samuel's investigation? Title Info.

All Jasper wants is to find a lady who will put up with him long enough to wed so he can retreat to his life of debauchery, a life that keeps the haunting memories of his past at bay. Knowing that Jasper is under pressure to wed, Melisande Fleming grasps her fate with both hands and volunteers to marry him. Although Jasper is initially interested only in producing an heir, he soon becomes entranced by his wife who is prim and proper by day, but wanton by night. Jasper vows to learn her secrets.

She has loved and lost before and will do anything to keep him from learning her terrible weakness: she's secretly been in love with him for years. But to her chagrin, her husband pursues her, wooing her as if she were a paramour, not his wife.
