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 Yardβs most relentless- some say vindictive-police commissioner. Heβs vowed to bring Lisette to justice-but with every forbidden kiss and every tantalizing touch, he finds himself becoming less convinced of her guiltβ¦and more certain he must have her. But when danger touches Lisette, can he save her?
