Grace Gauthier had taken a position as governess hoping to find security and peace in a life that had very little of either. Sheβs always yearned for a good marriage, a family, and a home, but it was not to be. And when the brutal murder of her employer leaves her unprotected and aloneβas Scotland Yardβs prime suspectβshe has no one to turn to except the mysterious and reclusive Lord Ruthveyn.
A dark-eyed Lucifer, Ruthveyn guards his secrets carefully. His shadowed past as the Queenβs most trusted agent in India is the stuff of whispered rumor, as is his mixed ancestry. Deeply moved by her plightβand haunted by her beautyβRuthveyn is determined to save Grace by unmasking a killer. But his growing passion for her soon places his own heart at risk and threatens to expose his dark giftsβand his dark societyβto the world . . .
