Everyone knows Lord Hartwood is a cold-hearted rake with an unsavory reputation. When his mistress leaves him on the advice of Miss Eliza Farrell, an amateur astrologer, Hartwood punishes the meddling prophetess by abducting her and demanding she take his mistress's place. It's another of the outrageous pranks that have earned him the nickname 'Lord Lightning.' But Eliza has been left destitute by her father's gambling, and with few other options, the prim spinster accepts Lord Lightning's offer. She believes that beneath his harsh Byronic exterior, Hartwood hides the kind and generous heart she sees depicted in his horoscope. Eliza's trust in his innate goodness awakens Hartwood's conscience and derails his attempt to corrupt her. But her night with the sensuous lord awakens something in Eliza, too -- a hunger she can't ignore. When Hartwood tries to dismiss Eliza for her own good, she proposes a scheme as wild as anything Hartwood could come up with, one that will transform both lovers in ways that defy prediction.
