Sometimes it takes more than a kiss to change a toad into a handsome prince. When Captain Lucas Deverall returns from the Peninsular War to succeed to his deceased brother's title, he grudgingly decides to take back his wife. But even before he learns the circumstances of his inheritance, he encounters her at a New Year's gala. Shock sets in as he realizes the most beautiful woman in England is the same gangly, calf-eyed chit who tricked him into marriage six years before. That's not how Sophie remembers it. She wishes fervently she'd had the sense not to scream when the drunken scapegrace crawled into her bed at her Uncle Harry's house party. True, she'd had a secret tendre for the handsome wastrel, until his scathing denunciation of her after their forced wedding. Then he went off to war without even consummating their union, and for six years she heard nothing from him. Now the toad offers her forgiveness in exchange for his presence in her bed? Revenge comes more to mind. And so the battle of wits begins. And the harder they fight it, the more they fall in love.

About the Author Delle Jacobs lives in the fantasy land called Washington State, a world of endess green forests, cascading silvery rivers that run between shiing, snowcapped mouuntains, near both a desert scabland and a sandy-beached ocean. She shares this wonderland with various relatives and the two requisite writer's cats of mixed heritage and contradictory dispositions. She doesn't mind the rain, which she gladly exchanges for the extreme heat and cold of other localities. Besides, it keeps her indoors where she can write more stories. A three-time winner of the Golden Heart, Dell has also won many other awards for her books. Almost all of Delle's books have been on the Amazon Best Seller lists multiple times, and many have been in the Top 100 Books.
