Miss Alice Bursnell is determined to wreak revenge on Nathaniel Eastwood, Viscount Abingdon, for the seduction, ruin, and death of her beloved twin sister. But how to expose a seducer without falling prey herself? As she gets closer to Nathaniel, she finds she is in serious danger of following in her sister's much-too-tempted footsteps. The man is nothing like the heartless rake she expected...and his kisses are truly divine. Could she be wrong about him? When a mysterious and gorgeous woman confronts Nathaniel at a fancy ball, he suspects she has murder on her mind - his own. But the more he tries to determine who the deceptively innocent beauty is - and what she's up to - the deeper he falls under her alluring spell. Nathaniel fears he's in imminent danger of losing his life...or worse, his heart.
