Alone in the world, Amanda Carville has no dowry, no
reputation left, and no one who believes her to be innocent
of murder, since she was found holding the gun that killed
her stepfather. Viscount Rexford also has his troubles. He's
scarred by war, and cursed-or blessed-with the family trait
of knowing the truth when he hears it, and his success at
extracting the truth from military prisoners has left many
doubting his honor and his methods. When Amanda tells him
she didn't do it, he believes her. Tired of the truth
business, Rex refuses to get involved...until his heart
leaves him no choice.
