Books like Silk and Steel by Kat Martin
Lady Kathryn Grayson, a gentle and privileged noblewoman, faces betrayal when her uncle schemes to usurp her fortune by committing her to an insane asylum. Desperate to escape, she stows away in the carriage of Lucien Montaine, Marquess of Litchfield. His first impression of the ragged yet dignified stranger is one of disbelief and suspicion. Still, Kathryn’s instinct tells her that Lucien, despite his honor, may be her only salvation. She attempts to seduce him and force a marriage, hoping to protect herself. Lucien is captivated by Kathryn’s intellect, will, and beauty, but refuses to love a woman he believes has deceived him. Their battle of wills intensifies, and desire threatens to overwhelm his stony resolve. The story explores whether Kathryn can melt his heart of steel or if her silken touch will only reinforce his vow to resist the perils of love.
