The Defiant One

"The bluest of blood, the boldest of hearts; the de Montforte brothers will take your breath away."
Blessed — or perhaps cursed — with a fiery temper, a strong will, and a blatant disregard for his brother’s wishes, Lord Andrew de Montforte's only desire is to be left alone. But after being caught in a compromising position with tempting Lady Celsiana Blake, the brilliant and brooding scientist/inventor is forced into marriage in this fast-paced, jocular tale in which a supporting cast of beloved pets, the warm and eccentric de Montforte brothers, and the Machiavellian influence of the mighty duke of Blackheath once again play a role...Read The De Montforte Brothers in Order:

I thoroughly enjoyed The Defiant One ... Danelle is a writer you can trust to deliver great stories time after time! My only regret is that I didn't read it with my oven mitts on! Witty and wonderful... a fresh and enchanting story with provocative love scenes and intelligent, passionate characters. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I am awed and delighted by Danelle Harmon's talent!" --NY Times Best-selling author Lisa Kleypas
FIVE STARS!  An entertaining, often times jocular Georgian romance that lives up to its predecessors' standard of excellence.

FOUR STARS!  A charming, intelligent, and a wonderful tortured romantic hero ... an equally enjoyable heroine ... fans will not be disappointed!  -- W. Crutcher, The Romance Reader
