Since losing her sight in a childhood accident, Mia
Danvers has resided in a small cottage on the vast
Carrington estate. Thought to be dead, Mia lives a life of
virtual seclusion—until one night, while walking home,
she happens upon a horrendous crime.
Alex Foster, Eighth Duke of Carrington, lives according
to society's expectations for him. He's never met the woman
who lives in the cottage at the edge of his property. But
when she arrives at his door in the pouring rain terrified
and claiming she has witnessed a murder, she seizes his
attention.
Mia is determined to help the authorities track down the
culprit, even though the only person willing to accept her
aid is the handsome, arrogant duke. Working closely together
proves difficult as Mia's beauty and independence tempts
Alex to ignore convention and follow his desire. But what
neither of them know is that this murderer has struck before
in Whitechapel, taunting the British press only to
vanish—a ruthless killer who knows that Mia is the
only living witness to his crime...
