Even a perfect gentleman has a little devil in him.

Once an orphaned, starving, Confederate war veteran, Morgan Evans is now a wealthy man respected for his business acumen and his Southern manners. The perfect catch for any woman, only Jessamyn Tyler Evans holds his constant attention--ever since she derailed one of his spy missions by holding him hostage in her bed for days. But once Jessamyn spurned Morgan for his cousin, Morgan vowed that someday he would get his revenge. Now Jessamyn has returned, and payback has begun. . .

Jessamyn is on the hunt for a legendary family treasure in the hills of Colorado. To get what she wants, the spirited widow needs a husband, and Morgan Evans is only too happy to join her masquerade. . .for a price: she must submit to him, body and soul, surrendering herself to whatever he demands. It's a devil's bargain to be sure. . .
