His Lordship's Desire

Napoleons troops stand defeated and Wellingtons Spanish campaign is over. Now a dedicated British soldier enters a very different hind of war: a battle for the woman he loves…

The eldest son of the Earl of Standish and heir to his late fathers holdings, Alexander Devize is summoned home to his duties in England. Waiting for him, he believes, is Diana Sherwood, the irrepressible beauty with whom he shared an unforgettable night of passion, a young woman he fully intends to marry. But Diana, lovelier and more headstrong than ever, has other intentions.
A soldiers daughter, Diana refuses to suffer the harsh world of being a soldiers wife and plans instead her coming out in London, ignoring the memories of wild and reckless Alex. Convinced shes found the proper, stable gentleman in Robert Welbourne, she pursues her course, unaware of a treachery building around her–or of the unwavering devotion of a soldier willing to fight for all hes worth in a battle he must not lose.
