From Booklist: American heiress Sophia Wilson arrives in London in search of an English lord to wed, since marrying a nobleman is one way of gaining the acceptance, which her mother desperately craves, of New York's old society. James Nicholas Langdon, the "Dangerous Duke," needs money to keep his family's estates afloat, and marrying Sophia seems to be the perfect solution. Their marriage would be a simple business arrangement since Sophia wants his title and he needs her money. The only flaw in James' plan is that after having spent his life learning to control his passions, he now must give into desire if he is to successfully seduce the heiress he needs. An unconventional, genuinely kind American who isn't afraid of breaking the rules of society teaches a cynical Englishman the true meaning of love in this sexy historical. MacLean gives readers a fascinating glimpse of a time when American women were accused of "buying" husbands in England as she fluently blends history into a emotionally compelling love story.
