Throughout Sara Carstairs' trial for the murder of her
sister's husband, Max Worthe had studied her cool demeanor
in the dock, fascinated by her even as he was convinced
she was guilty as charged. For three years after the
ravishing heiress was acquitted, he used the power of his
newspaper to pursue the truth—hoping to find the still-
undiscovered body of the murder victim and at last prove
Sara's guilt. But not only had the body disappeared
without a trace, so had Sara Carstairs....
When Max finally catches up with Sara by sheer chance, he
doesn't even know it's her...at first. By the time he
does, it's too late—they've already spent a night together
that both of them know they will never forget and can
never repeat. Has he fallen in love with the woman of his
dreams or with a cold-blooded murderess? And has she put
herself in the hands of a knight in shining armor—or a
ruthless scoundrel bent on destroying her?
