Part of The Ravenels, book 6
First published 2020
Tom Severin commands railways and fortunes with equal skill. His wealth opens every door, his power grants every wish. When he encounters Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he decides she will become his wife. Cassandra possesses beauty and sharp intelligence, but she refuses his advances. She wants love in marriage, something the calculating Severin cannot offer. His frozen heart repels her as much as his ruthless ambition. She will not join the high-stakes world of a man who treats life like a game to win. An enemy attacks Cassandra's reputation, threatening her social standing. Severin sees his chance and takes it, forcing the marriage he wanted. He believes victory is his, but Cassandra proves him wrong. The Ravenel family taught her never to surrender without a fight. Severin won her hand through manipulation and opportunity. Now he must discover whether he can capture something far more elusive.
