United in a common cause...
Lady Juliette Matthews longs to be much more than just another pretty
ornament in society. But using her recently acquired fortune to do some
good is more complicated than she anticipated. Young ladies are not
expected to risk their safety in helping the less fortunate. And the one
gentleman who could help in her mission is stubborn, infernally
handsome--and far too honorable to act on their mutual attraction.
And in a desire impossible to deny...
Florian Lowell has suddenly been made heir to the Duke of Redding--a far
cry from his status as a dedicated physician. Yet even with his new role
as the country's most eligible bachelor, the beautiful, fearless
Juliette is utterly beyond his reach. The scandalous circumstances of
his birth would destroy both their reputations if they became known. But
when a more urgent danger threatens Juliette's life, Florian must gamble
everything...including the heart only one woman can tame.
