Book excerpt: Sweeping from the cultured salons of 19th-century London to the wild Scottish Highlands, Jackie Ivie's seductive new novel weaves the tale of a desperate lady and a ruthless laird whose only common ground is the territory of desire. . . A Lady Of Ice Beautiful and elegant, Elise, the Duchess of Wynd, has survived among the nobility by carefully cultivating a façade of cutting wit and heartlessness. Nothing ruffles her. And no man can break through her defenses. . . A Man Of Fire A fierce Scottish warrior, Colin is the new Duke of MacGowan and--in polite circles--looked upon as no better than a barbarian. Nevertheless, he is a lord who brooks no defiance. . .and holds no rein on his pleasures. . . A Promise Of Passion Colin's very presence ties Elise's sharp-edged tongue: She is all too aware that he could be the answer to her prayers--or her worst nightmare. For Elise harbors secrets that could change the course of both their lives. But before she can reveal them, she must make the wild knight her own. . .
