The wise woman of Northrop Park is cast out by the Duke-until she casts a spell of love over him-in this Regency romance series debut.

Staffordshire, England, 1814. After losing his wife in childbirth, Colin Barrett, Duke of Northrop, does not trust healers. So when he discovers Selina White cleansing his estate, he is livid. As duke, Colin is accustomed to his charges taking orders from him. But the fiery Selina has the audacity to defy him when he asks her to leave his lands. More infuriating, he cannot stop thinking about the seductive sway of her hips when she walks. The sick tenants of Northrop Park depend on Selina, and she's not about to let any man-even a duke-keep her from her duty. But while Selina does not fear Colin's temper, she is afraid of the secrets she keeps from him, and of the desire he sets off in her every time he is near.
