Description

When it comes to revenge, it is a dish best served… steaming hot.

Carmia McDougal is a woman scorned. She met Thame Forrester by chance. He was visiting his uncle's hunting box in Scotland, and their paths crossed. It was love at first sight for both of them. At least, that's what she thought. When they were due to meet at the altar, he never arrived. Instead, she was told that he'd returned to London, and that their brief romantic affair was nothing but a lark. As a long-standing wallflower, Carmia decides that she's not going to take such a slight, so she gathers up her courage and travels to confront the scoundrel, all while making her retribution sweeter than honey…

The moment Thame Forrester met Carmia, he immediately found the enchanting, Scottish lass to be irresistible, but he realized he was being selfish by dragging her into a world that demanded so much. English society was much more proper than she was used to enduring. At least, that was what he told himself. It was easier than admitting that he might have acted rashly, although later he realized that it had broken his heart to leave the titian-haired beauty. Nevertheless, he decides that she would get over him soon enough—until she arrives in London and uses her charm to win over everyone she meets. Thame realizes he's made a terrible mistake by letting her get away, but she keeps insisting that their time has passed. However, he is just as determined as his fiery counterpart and when it comes to love, he isn't giving up the battle easily.
