Bartered, betrothed and bedded! As quiet and dangerous as a jungle cat, achieving the impossible is one of Luc Garnier's defining characteristics. Princess Gabrielle is invaluable – a pearl beyond price. Yet Luc has defied the odds, and a contract for marriage is drawn up. This will be a union on paper first, and of flesh later. Except Gabrielle is just the same in private as in public – well-bred, well-behaved, and a credit to her country. Luc is determined to find the wanton within and leave his pure princess in total disarray!
