What does it matter if Kate, Lady d'Allenay, has absolutely no marriage prospects? She has a castle to tend, an estate to run, and a sister to watch over, which means she is never reckless. Until an accident brings a handsome stranger to Bellecombe Castle, and Kate finds herself tempted. Proprietor of a notorious London gaming salon, Lord Edward Quartermaine now struggles to regain his memory, certain of only one thing: he wants all Kate is offering -- and more. When Edward's memory returns, will their scandalous passion be Kate's ruin, or his salvation?
