Julian Kenneway, Earl of Vinedale, has a secret: he is in love with innocent debutante Angelica Fortney. She's the one thing he desires more than the tenuous peace he has regained since returning from India. Yet everyone, including Julian, believes he's unsuitable for her – and seducing her could ruin both their lives. But when a rival for Angelica's affections arrives, Julian realises he can't lose her – and can no longer control his passion for her.
