What's a cynical earl to do when tempted to rescue a lady from a real-life prince?

After being auctioned off by her own mother to the crown prince of Austria, Cristina Fairfax is clearly a damsel in need of a hero. Her fate seems sealed?until she finds herself kidnapped by a most unlikely savior.

Lord Blake Ashford, the earl of Lawrence, stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago. Yet he can't stop himself from rushing to Cristina's rescue. Blake clashes with the headstrong beauty?who claims to want nothing more than her freedom?even as he strives to fight his growing desire for her.

Their dangerous, yet irresistible, dance sweeps Blake and Cristina from the drawing rooms of London to the sumptuous ballrooms of Vienna. As a scandalous secret from the past threatens to tear them apart, they must decide if their love will last for just one passionate night or for...always.
