Description:

Lisa Jackson weaves a compelling tale of vengeance and forbidden love in Wild and Wicked. Lady Apryll of Serennog feels wild indeed. With her people starving, Apryll has only two choices -- marry one of her unsavory suitors and add a husband's wealth to the family coffers, or use seductive wiles to help her brother steal Lord Devlynn's treasure to serve their need. Assured that there is no true wickedness in taking wealth that Devlynn's father stole from her own, she agrees to the deception. She slips boldly into her enemy's Christmas feast, distracts him with promises of pleasure...and then vanishes from his chamber. She's furious to discover her brother has added a dastardly twist to their plan. In addition to jewels and fine horses, he has stolen Devlynn's young son, a boy the warrior lord loves more than life itself. Faced with such wickedness, Apryll realizes that if she is ever to be more than a pawn trapped between powerful men, she must swiftly decide which one is worthy of her loyalty and her love.
