Everything has a price . . .

Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. It should be simple to find the perfect wife - and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he''s determined to have her. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love - the one thing he can''t give.

Everything except her . . .

Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win. When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra''s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he''s been waiting for. As always, he gets what he wants - or does he? There''s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:

Never underestimate a Ravenel.

The chase for Cassandra''s hand may be over. But the chase for her heart has only just begun . . .
