Colin Oliver, Viscount Sutton, left his beloved Cornwall
for London to find a bride - some comely, proper, wellborn
lady to bear him an heir. Certainly not someone like Madame
Alexandra Larchmont. Yes, she's the toast of the
ton, and a rare beauty to be sure. But she's also a
fortune-teller. And Colin has an excellent reason for
keeping a sharp watch on this one . . .
The cards have warned Alexandra for years about a dark-
haired stranger who would wreak havoc with her life, so
when she sees him at a soiree, her first thought is to run.
Unfortunately, she overhears a murder plot, and the only
person she can turn to for help is a man she knows she
should stay away from, a man who eyes her with an
undisguised hunger.
But fate's strange turns are Alexandra's stock in trade.
And if love is written in the cards, surely nothing is
impossible!
