As beautiful as she is mysterious, gentle Marianne is persuaded to marry a man who has admired her for years in this age-gap marriage story where both will discover how learning to command is just as important as learning to surrender.

Book Synopsis

Somerset, 1837

'Ti amo, mia cara'

The fine art of persuasion. Darius Rourke and his burning passion for a woman. The gentle Marianne...as beautiful as she is mysterious.

When presented with an opportunity to make her his bride, Darius takes it and knows Marianne will finally belong only to him.

Or will she?

Marianne carries a secret. Something she believes will prevent her from ever being worthy to be loved by any man--even the masterful Darius, despite the fact he captivates her utterly.

A look... A caress... A kiss... A brooding sensuality. A lushly passionate tale of lovers entangled in the discovery of each other's sins and secrets. As Darius and Marianne embark upon the journey together, they will find that learning to command is just as important as learning to surrender.

A man who knows what he wants...

A woman who needs him in order to know her worth...

Review Quotes

• Before I discuss The Passion of Darius, let me begin by saying that it is very reminiscent of the old movies and how they actually talk. Raine really nailed it. For once it's so nice to take a break from Contemporary Romance and step away back into time...a time when chivalry actually held water, and a kiss on the cheek meant more...I honestly fell in love with this story from the beginning and tore through this book, loving every word. -Trish, Schmexy Girl Book Blog

• The Passion of Darius is truly an excellent tale about love, acceptance and forgiveness with a great ensemble of characters whose individual stories all weave together perfectly over the course of the book. The writing is excellent (no doubt) and the storyline is beautifully constructed, not to mention the exceptionally beautiful cover that will capture your hearts in first glance. -Chris, The Book Avenue

• Once again Raine has hit a home run with this beautiful story. I could read about these two forever. The Passion of Darius is truly a beautiful, beautiful love story-the kind of love every little girl dreams of finding when they grow up. -Wendy, Goodreads
