The heir presumptive to the Viscount Rathmoor, Dominick Manton once had his heart's desire within reach—a bright future as a barrister and engagement to Jane Vernon. Then a shattering betrayal by his vindictive brother George snatched away Dom's inheritance and his hopes of offering Jane a secure future.




Now George is gone, and the viscountcy has been restored to Dom, since his brother's widow, Nancy, never bore an heir. But when Nancy goes missing, a panicked Jane calls on her former fiancé to track down her cousin. Dom knows the mistakes of the past may be unforgivable—but now, entangled together in mystery and danger, will they rekindle a passionate longing that was never lost to begin with?
