A young woman disappears. A husband is suspected of murder. Stirring times for all the neighbourhood. The Steepwood Scandal.

Gina, Lady Whitelaw left Steepwood as plain Gina Westcott. Now, years later, she's returned home – only to come face–to–face with the man who stole her heart. Giles Rushford was once the heir to a great estate, while she was a lowly nursemaid. Now he's virtually penniless after his father lost the family fortune, while Gina is a wealthy and titled widow.

She knows Giles is too honourable a man to risk being seen as a fortune hunter. How will she ever convince him they were meant to reunite – as husband and wife?
