The first book in Amanda Scott's acclaimed Dangerous series journeys
from the battlefields of Waterloo to the ballrooms and boudoirs of
London, where a deadly deception unfolds....
Engaged by proxy to a man she's never met, Lady Daintry Tarrant is
dismayed when the war hero returns, introducing himself as her fiancé,
Lord Penthorpe. She cherishes her independence and has turned away many
suitors, but this one she must marry. Penthorpe is completely captivated
by Lady Daintry - but he's not who he claims to be.
Penthorpe and Lord Gideon Deverill fought together at the battle of
Waterloo, and when Penthorpe fell, Gideon assumed his identity in order
to see the beautiful Lady Daintry. Gideon knows there's bad blood
between Lady Daintry's family and his own, but he's smitten with Daintry
and determined to reunite the bitterly feuding clans. When a ghost from
Gideon's past appears, he could lose everything - including Daintry's
love.
