Celia Seaton has lost her father, her money, and now her job as a governess. To top it off sheโs kidnapped by a stranger and left almost bare boned in a Yorkshire cottage. As she escapes she finds an unconscious and half-naked man she recognizes as Tarquin Compton-the man who ruined her London season.
Seeking revenge, Celia takes advantage of his amnesia and gives a false name, telling him that they are betrothed. Together they cross the moors dodging villains and falling helplessly in love. But when Tarquinโs memories return, he is faced with difficult decisions.
Recently resigned to marry a woman of his uncleโs choosing, Tarquin finds himself craving the freedom and passion he felt when traveling with Celia. But can he convince her that the man she fell in love with on the moors is the true him, or will his past actions doom him to a life without her?
