One plain, outspoken spinster. Two gorgeous, intelligent noblemen—one half-human. Once lovers…now rivals, both plummet off their axis toward one woman. Pure obsession is just around the corner. Waiting… In the space of a few heartbeats, a person’s reality can be altered for all time. Alexandre, the Earl of Wainhaven, thought he’d found the perfect man in Clifford…until he crashed against the perfect woman. His conniving, scrawny, smart-mouth rival! Clifford, Viscount Rathbern, incensed at the unscrupulous method in obtaining his hand in marriage from an unattractive woman he could barely tolerate let alone abide, never dreamed being bribed and blackmailed would ultimately be so agonizing…or so gut-wrenchingly sweet. Spinsterish Tiffany Sandleton thinks it brilliant to simultaneously blackmail AND bribe Clifford, the darkly handsome and blue-blooded 13th Viscount of Rathbern into matrimony, outrageously demanding he give her an heiress posthaste. Since she couldn’t get him by hook, she got him by crook! Little does she know her reality is about to change. For life. She can’t even begin to fathom just how big a change. Caught between two extraordinary noblemen under extraordinary circumstances, how will Tiffany react…or choose her fate? Under the same confusing and intensely erotic circumstances …how would you choose your fate?
