Evelyn Whyte has never forgotten the night she first met
Justin Powell--or the shocking indiscretion that left the
raffish military hero eternally in her debt. Now,
desperate to save her aunt’s foundering nuptial planning
enterprise, she’s ready to call in her IOU. All she needs
is Justin’s scenic ancestral home, where she’s determined
to show the world that even a woman innocent in the ways
of love can turn a simple wedding into the social event of
the season.
Ten years earlier, Evie single-handedly saved him from
scandal-wagging tongues, and Justin never reneges on a
favor. Now, unaware of the daring double life he conceals
behind a cloak of amiable gentility, Evie and her wedding
party descend on North Cross Abbey, where her curiosity
and forthright manner could imperil them both. Pursued by
enemy agents amid a whirl of festivities, Justin vows to
keep Evie safe. But who will protect him from the charms
of this alluring woman--and the promise of a matchless
love worth any risk?
