On a splendid August afternoon, Susanna Osbourne is introduced to the most handsome man she has ever seen... and distinctly feels the icy chill of recognition.

Peter Edgeworth, Viscount Whitleaf, is utterly charming—seemingly unaware that they have met before. With his knowing smile and seductive gaze, Peter acts the rake; but he stirs something in Susanna she has never felt before, a yearning that both frightens and dazzles her. Instantly she knows: this brash nobleman poses a threat to her heart... and to the secrets she guards so desperately.
