Whitney, My Love book description
Under the dark, languorous eyes of Clayton Westmoreland, the Duke of Claymore, Whitney Stone grew from a saucy hoyden into a ravishingly sensual woman.
Fresh from her triumphs in Paris society, she returned to England to win the heart of Paul, her childhood love… only to be bargained away by her bankrupt father to the handsome, arrogant Duke.
Outraged, she defies her new lord. But even as his smoldering passion seduces her into a gathering storm of desire, Whitney cannot – will not – relinquish her dream of perfect love.
