How dare he come back! Even before Kate Walcott has the chance to inform her Mistress about the fire and the stranger turned rescuer in the garden, the beautiful Mrs. Georgette Lawson, a well-known courtesan, seemed to know who it was and is now torn between excitement and angst. Looking almost as a sister to Georgette and treated as such, Kate had her own share of love gone bad misfortunes and is totally steadfast in her loyalty to her Mistress, serving as Governess to her three children and problem solver and organizer for everything in the household. With her lips still tingling from the kiss from Sir Colin Boscastle who had mistaken her for Georgette in the garden, Kate really did not want to be a witness to their reunion after thirteen years apart. After all, Colin had abandoned Georgette for his quest to find the man who had murdered his father. Heartbroken, Georgette had also found herself pregnant. To stop Colin's son from being a bastard, she had married an older man and had two more children from him, but falling on hard times after he died, Georgette, using her wits and her beauty, had turned to being a mistress to a series of "protectors" and had done pretty well for herself.

Mason Earling, the current man who adored her, had even ensconced the lavish lifestyle loving Georgette and family in his home parish village in south east England, much to the dismay and anger of the local villagers. Mason had to go away on business and left them with only a few servants for protection and now a few local lads had tried to set fire to his estate. While Boscastle is helping them out, Kate knows that Colin and Mason have history between them and this is not going to go well. After all, she had written down all the stories about this devilishly handsome rake and his amazing skills as a lover for Georgette who is planning to publish her memoirs and living off those expected funds, if things with Mason didn't turn out.

But now, what to do? Boscastle seems more intent on waylaying Mason and beguiling her for amorous kisses, than in wooing Georgette. Is he still that devastating heartbreaker?

Kate is totally determined to keep all their secrets from him till she knows if she could trust him. According to Georgette, he drew women to him "like dust to Venetian blinds". Could mild mannered Mason really be as guilty as Boscastle said? What would Griswold, their old servant remember about the murder? Kate only longs for a husband and she is not of his class. Should she curse and push him away or let her feelings crave him?
