"Now you can see how easily an ill-spoken word can cast doubt
on or even
destroy the feelings we thought inviolate," Dante warned her. "Never let
anyone
turn you against me, Rhea. Promise me that."
Newly-wed, Lady Rhea Claire and Dante Leighton must return to England, where
their reception is anything but warm.
Now armed with wealth and power, Dante is a target for the murderous
smugglers
who despoiled his family home, while Rhea's father, the powerful Duke of
Camareigh, vehemently rejects their marriage.
The two lovers thought themselves invincible together. But in the riveting
conclusion of McBain's epic trilogy, Dante's determination to reclaim his
family
seat and Rhea's desperation to win over her father threaten to cause an
insurmountable rift that could break them apart forever.
