A scandalous past…

Viscount Gerald Lawrence never imagined that one reckless kiss with a notorious temptress, the hostess of the Season’s most prominent ball, would ignite a scandal. Caught in the act by his outraged parents and, worse yet, his innocent and unsuspecting fiancée, Lady Selena Bowles, Gerald paid the ultimate price. Banished to his family’s crumbling estate, he vowed to leave his reckless ways behind. Now, four years later, Gerald is a man transformed—his estate thriving, his reputation restored, and a successful horse-racing venture under his care. But on a stormy night, the past returns with a vengeance when a half-frozen, injured Selena appears on his doorstep.

A dangerous present…

On the run after her mother is poisoned by a ruthless relative, Selena has no one else to turn to but the very man she never thought she’d face again. Traumatized and suffering from memory loss after a fall, she has no recollection of Gerald’s past betrayal—only the growing bond between them. As Gerald becomes her unlikely protector, Selena finds herself falling for him all over again. But shadows of the past loom large, and a dangerous foe will stop at nothing to see Selena destroyed.
