All of London is agog for the wedding of Oscar Ryall, the
charming Lord Carrington, to this season's diamond of the
marriage mart. Yet Oscar himself is less than happy with the
circumstances that brought about his match to the coldest
woman he's ever met. A woman he'd schemed to capture from
the start, but who trapped him by scandal instead. Although
bred to do his duty and wed as arranged, he's plagued by
doubts about marrying the girl. What he wants is his former
lover back in his life to turn his mind from the demon
plaguing his dreams.
Yet Agatha Birkenstock refuses to resume their relationship
and the nightmares increase every day. Agatha Birkenstock
was devastated by Oscar's betrothal and his offer of carte
blanche broke her heart. Granddaughter to a wealthy cit,
Agatha could never be happy as Oscar's mistress and vows to
protect her heart.
But when they're forced to work together to save her beloved
orphanage from closure, she's hard pressed to keep a proper
distance. Although few in society seem to notice, Agatha
glimpses the suffering in his eyes and against all sense,
risks her heart again. Yet even as she vows to uncover his
secrets, Agatha's world is ripped apart and the scandal that
follows damages more than just her tenuous place in society.
It threatens to shred Oscar's family apart.
