In Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath, Mick Trewlove is the illegitimate son of a duke — but despite his lowly upbringing, Mick has become a successful businessman. What he craves most, though, isn't wealth, but revenge against the man who won't acknowledge him as his son. So Mick hatches a plan: he'll destroy everything that his biological father loves by wooing the heir's betrothed into his own unloving arms. The only problem is that it's hard not to love the orphaned and innocent Lady Aslyn Hastings. Brought up in a sheltered household, she longs for a bit of adventure. With her intended often preoccupied, Aslyn finds herself drawn to the darkly handsome entrepreneur who seems to understand her so well. She knows it isn't proper for a lady of her station to feel so drawn to a man of Mick's station, but she finds him completely irresistible. As Mick's plan for vengeance draws closer to fruition, he must decide if his plan for vengeance is worth risking what his heart truly desires.
