Iain Sinclair, Marquis of Alynwick, is certain there is a
special hell for him. An unrepentant rake, he holds nothing
sacred-except for beautiful Elizabeth York. For years,
Alynwick has tried to forget the woman he loved so well, and
treated so badly. A woman who could hold nothing in her
heart for him but hatred.
All of society believes Elizabeth, the blind daughter of a
duke, to be a proper young lady. But no one knows of her
wanton affair with Alynwick. When Lizzy learns of her
ancestor's ancient diary-filled with exotic tales-she longs
to uncover the identity of the unnamed lover within and
hesitantly agrees to allow Alynwick, who claims to have
knowledge of the "veiled lady," to help her solve the
mystery.
Eager to be Lizzy's eyes, Alynwick brings the seductive text
to life, and each night it takes greater effort for her to
forget his betrayal. With each whispered word, her resolve
gives way, without her knowing that a centuries-old secret
will lead them to a present-day danger.
