On the eve of her escape to the Continent, fleeing her
notorious past, bold, beautiful Lisette Colburne accepts a
proposal she dare not refuse: masquerade as the future
bride of the steely-eyed Royden Napier, and help him solve
his most dangerous case-or face arrest for murder. Soon
Lisette is in even greater danger-the danger of losing her
heart to the one man with the power to destroy her . . .
Estranged from his wealthy family, the enigmatic Napier
has forged a reputation as Scotland Yard’s most relentless-
some say vindictive-police commissioner. He’s vowed to
bring Lisette to justice-but with every forbidden kiss and
every tantalizing touch, he finds himself becoming less
convinced of her guilt…and more certain he must have her.
But when danger touches Lisette, can he save her?
