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