Stranger to the Exquisite Treachery of Love...
beautiful, headstrong Perdita Sinclair, future Countess of Strathgallant, was to choose a husband before inheriting her adopted grandmother's fortune.
Faced with selecting one of her four handsome cousins, Perdita was thrown into a dizzying quandary. Was it fair-haired James, arrogant Henry, dashing Colin, or gentle Alex who ruled her heart? Did they believe her to be penniless as her scheming grandmother wished -- or were they driven to heights of passion by cunning and greed?
Then a charming Frenchman named Jules arrived at Strathgallant, claiming that he was its true blood heir, and suddenly Perdita's game of love turned to war -- a war that was to plunge Strathgallant and its young mistress into a deadly web of deception and desire!
