"A Sensual Historical Romance"

It's not a paranormal, but it is fantastic.  The plot reads like any other romance.  An intelligent girl (Jessica) tries to save her idiot brother from losing his fortune, which has all come about because he likes hanging with a notorious group of men that are led by the Marquess of Dain.  Dain ends up compromising Jessica, and although that usually wouldn't bother him, he wants to keep her so they marry. 

But, you've heard of sparkling dialogue?  This book defines it.  And as far as deep characters go, Dain wins.  He is more completely defined in the prologue of this book than most males are in entire romances.  He is *the* hero with a painful past. 

It's sexy too.  Have you ever been turned on by a man unbuttoning a glove?  Whew, read this one and you will!  It's witty, funny, sad, sexy, sweet, and highly recommended.

Tough-minded Jessica Trent's sole intention is to free her nitwit brother from the destructive influence of Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain. She never expects to desire the arrogant, amoral cad. And when Dain's reciprocal passion places them in a scandalously compromising, and public, position, Jessica is left with no choice but to seek satisfaction...

Damn the minx for tempting him, kissing him...and then forcing him to salvage her reputation! Lord Dain can't wait to put the infuriating bluestocking in her place -- and in some amorous position. And if that means marriage, so be it! -- though Sebastian is less than certain he can continue to remain aloof...and steel his heart to the sensuous, headstrong lady's considerable charms.
