How To Entice An Enchantress

Scarred in the terrible accident that took his wife, gruff Lord Kirk has hidden himself from Society. When he meets his neighbor, Dahlia Balfour - a young beauty who shares his love for poetry and books-he realizes she is the one woman who could make him forget the past. But how can such a recluse attract the eye of an enchant- ress? Kirk appeals to his godmother, the Duchess of Roxburghe, to help him become the dashing, well-dressed hero of Dahlia's dreams.

Arriving at a house party given by the Duchess, Dahlia is unprepared for the change in her neighbor. Suddenly, she is seeing him in a whole new light. When he captures her lips with an ardent kiss, she realizes he could be her romantic hero, but then a jealous rival twists an inadver- tent comment she makes. Now Dahlia must persuade Kirk that she's not just a pretty girl feeling pity, but a pas- sionate woman who sees past painful scars into the soul of the man she's come to love.
