Neville Roscoe operates by his own rules, rejecting the constraints of polite society. His personal code of honor guides him through a world that has no claim on his loyalty. Miranda Clifford exists within the opposite realm, trapped by the demands of respectability that govern every aspect of her life as a lady. When circumstances thrust them together, both face desires that challenge everything they believed about themselves. Neville finds his carefully maintained independence threatened by his longing for a woman beyond his reach. Miranda discovers passions that overwhelm her ability to resist. Danger surrounds them as they navigate intrigue that tests their resolve. Through shared peril, they uncover feelings neither can dismiss. Their connection grows stronger even as obstacles mount against them. What begins as impossible attraction develops into something neither can abandon.
