It was indisputably love at first sight. But Victoria Lyndon was merely
the teenaged daughter of a vicar. . .while Robert Kemble was the dashing
young earl of Macclesfield. Surely what their meddlesome fathers
insisted must have been true-that he was a reckless seducer determined
to destroy her innocence. . . and she was a shameless fortune hunter. So
it most certainly was for the best when their plans to elope went
hopelessly awry.
Even after a seven-year separation, Victoria-now a governess-still
leaves Robert breathless. But how could he ever again trust the
raven-haired deceiver who had shattered his soul? And Victoria could
never give her heart a second time to the cad who so callously trampled
on it the first. But a passion fated will not be denied, and vows of
love yearn to be kept. . . even when one promises the moon.
