Nightmares of her mother's murder have plagued Lady Aimee Daventry for the past 10 years, but she has no recollection of the actual murder. For the past few months, she's been remembering bits and pieces in her dreams with increasing memories of her mother trying to give her a message. In a weak moment at a party, Aimee tells Royce Grenville of the increased frequency of her nightmares and her belief that there's a memory just beyond her grasp. After that conversation, someone attacks Aimee.

Royce Grenville, Viscount Stonehurst, rarely attends society events. Since his injury at Waterloo, he prefers to stay isolated at his estate. Royce was the "spare" heir, but with his brother's tragic death, Royce inherited the title. His father swore Royce was cursed and damned him with every breath. After years of listening to this vicious spew, Royce believes it. He stays away, especially from Aimee. Even though society perceives Aimee as a shy little mouse, Royce sees a beautiful woman who deserves a happiness he cannot provide.

Aimee's father begs Royce to take her away until they can find the culprit. With an elderly chaperone, Royce whisk Aimee to his estate. While waiting for news, their attraction flares, but the demons of the past interfere. Until those demons are put to rest, Aimee and Royce cannot have a future.

Ms. Logan concludes her Daventry sister trilogy as she peels the final layer of subterfuge from the murder. Increasing the tension and giving added dimension to the characters, she takes the weaker sister and pairs her with a physically and emotionally scarred man to expose the mastermind behind the killings. A good, solid read with equal parts mystery and romance.
