Emily and the Dark Angel (Lovers and Ladies #4)

Emily Grantwich lives quietly with her crippled father and eccentric aunt, managing the family's land and waiting for news of her brother, Marcus, who has been missing in action for several months. Until she meets the handsomest man she has ever seen.

He is Piers Verderan, known as the Dark Angel, a man without a conscience and a notorious rake. No decent woman should be seen in his company, but Verderan's land adjoins the Grantwich estate. Before long, Emily will learn that the Dark Angel is very dangerous, especially to her heart...
