Maurice Westham is a handsome young lawyer~and Charlotte's fiance. He makes her uneasy and it's more than the idea of marrying a man who is a stranger to her. Gideon Lyons is her deceased father's protege. Blinded in the accident that killed her father, Gideon and she have a long standing enmity, she's told. Her heart disagrees. Nobody, not even her dearest friend Elizabeth, is telling her the whole truth.
