She'd never forgotten him . . .
Miss Octavia Pierce is witty, well-off . . .
and shockingly unwed. Still, she is far too successful in
society to remain on the shelf forever, and her family has hopes that Octavia will finally make the perfect match. What they
don't know is that, years earlier, Octavia was scandalously
tempted by the one man capable of sweeping her off her feet-
the man now known as the Marquess of DoreÉ.
A third son, never meant to inherit, Lord Ben DoreÉ has
abandoned his past and grown accustomed to his illustrious new position of wealth and power. But he has never forgotten Octavia, and now she desperately needs his help in a most dangerous, clandestine matter. Although she claims she has put the memories of the passion they shared behind her, Ben is determined to
once again have her in his arms-and in his bed.
