Romance Suspense | Romance Historical

Throughout Sara Carstairs' trial for the murder of her sister's husband, Max Worthe had studied her cool demeanor in the dock, fascinated by her even as he was convinced she was guilty as charged. For three years after the ravishing heiress was acquitted, he used the power of his newspaper to pursue the truthโ€”hoping to find the still- undiscovered body of the murder victim and at last prove Sara's guilt. But not only had the body disappeared without a trace, so had Sara Carstairs....

When Max finally catches up with Sara by sheer chance, he doesn't even know it's her...at first. By the time he does, it's too lateโ€”they've already spent a night together that both of them know they will never forget and can never repeat. Has he fallen in love with the woman of his dreams or with a cold-blooded murderess? And has she put herself in the hands of a knight in shining armorโ€”or a ruthless scoundrel bent on destroying her?
