Obtaining the Thorne land was Lord Riordan Langcliffe's--the town's most heartless businessman-fondest wish. He schemed, he plotted, and then he met Cambria. With one look, he was lost; with one sign, he was desperate; with one flash of insight, he decided to drive away every suitor from her door...until he was the only match she would ever consider. In truth, Cambria thought him a dashing rogue, but knew if she didn't resist him she would lose everything-including her heart...
