His for the Taking — Sierra Dafoe

Haunted by war, Darius Cantwell is convinced everything around him is
false, a mere pretense of innocence -- especially the Scottish beauty
who claims to be the wife of his best friend. Searching for her husband
who abandoned her, Claire McFarlane has come to London penniless,
desperate and still a virgin. Or so she says. But how could any man have
left such a delectable bride untouched? Darius himself can barely keep
his hands off her.


Lord Cantwell is Claire's last hope of discovering her husband's fate
-- but no man has ever made her burn the way Darius does. And it's
obvious he believes her a liar. There's only one way she can prove her
honesty -- surrender her innocence to this grim, angry lord.
