Plot Summary of Velvet Angel
"Miles Montgomery found her rolled in a rug, covered in nothing but her long blonde hair. But no matter how well he might treat her, Elizabeth Chatworth would not give in to him. He was a hated Montgomery, her family's enemy, and the blood feud still raged between their families, fueled by murder, rape, and betrayal. But Elizabeth couldn't resist Miles for long. Guilt kept her from ever succumbing to him fully, until something could end their families bitter war. "Velvet Angel" is the third book in Jude Deveraux's Velvet series."
Pamela Piarowski, Resident Scholar

"Naked and rolled up in a carpet, Elizabeth Chadworth is given to Miles montgomery. He tries to give her everything he has been missing in her life, but can they put aside years of family hatred? The fourth book in the Velvet saga."
