From the moment she first saw tall, dashing Eric Ford,
Camille's heart was lost. In her most cherished fantasy
she is standing by his side, exchanging sacred wedding
vows with her beloved. But Eric seems content to be no
more than her unofficial protector, watching over the
younger sister of his dear friend—and, despite her every
attempt to open his eyes, it appears Camille's dream of
wedded bliss might never come true.
Eric knows a spirited and passionate beauty like Camille
deserves much better than him, an ex-military man who has
no patience for the games of the ton. Still, he aches each
time a potential suitor approaches her, or when he sees
her dancing in another man's arms. Eric knows he will
never be complete until Camille is his. With each
lingering glance and caressing touch he must tempt the
lady to be his bride. But when danger and betrayal
threaten, will it destroy a secret love…or bind two hearts
for all eternity?
