To say he had a reputation was the understatement of the century. Being born to a family of means and importance had kept him in good stead despite his many indiscretions. No woman would ever tame him though several had tried. Until a chance encounter at a barbecue tested his rakish ways.

He would try to deny his desire but he was already lost to the green-eyed vixen whose flaming temper matched his own.
