So worthy my love - Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

Falsely branded a traitor to the crown, Maxim Seymour, the dashing Marquess of Bradbury, swears he will have his revenge on those who stole his title and his lands. But his vengeful stratagems are undone when he steals onto the estate of his most hated foe in the dead of night—and mistakenly abducts bewitching Elise Radborne instead of his intended victim.

An innocent inadvertently caught up in the dangerous intrigues of the Elizabethan court, Elise is furious at her brazen captor—and engages the proud, disgraced lord in a blistering battle of wits and wills. But she cannot help but be attracted to Maxim’s tenderness and strength—just as he is captivated by her high-spirits and sensuality—and both are unprepared for the tempest of emotions unleashed whenever they touch. And in an era of dark plots and foul treacheries, two avowed enemies—two noble, yearning hearts so perfectly matched—discover their shared destiny to be united for all time in love.
