Fate has made Gyles Rawlings a man determined to control his destiny. He has decided to wed a well-bred lady who will dutifully bear him sons, yet turn a blind eye while he takes his pleasure elsewhere. By all good accounts, Francesca will fit his bill. As for the "elsewhere," he's recently encountered a beautiful, brazen siren who will make a fine mistress, one with a fiery nature to match his own.

But at the altar, Gyles discovers his bride is the bold enchantress who has inspired his deepest fantasies. Finding passion and love in the same woman has long been a secret fear. But as his world is rocked on its axis, Gyles becomes obsessed with possessing the one thing he'd thought he would never want... his wife's heart.

"Appealing characters and red-hot chemistry breathe new life into a familiar story line. Laurens's twist on the bride-switch, arranged marriage formula is fun, spicy and sure to please."

Kathe Robin, Romantic Times

"How delightful that the Cynster Saga didn't end with the brothers and cousins. I know I wasn't the only one who let out a whoop of joy when Devil made Chillingworth an honorary Cynster. His story is a very worthy chapter in the ongoing story of the Cynster family."
Sue Burke, Reviewer, The Old Book Barn Gazette

"ALL ABOUT PASSION is a remarkable example of Stephanie Laurens at her absolute best."
Lea Christina, Romance & Friends website

"A PERFECT 10! Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of ALL ABOUT PASSION."
