This "emotionally provocative" Regency from a New York Times–bestseller "is guaranteed to touch a responsive chord. . . . I can't recommend it highly enough." —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Yesterday Once More
Miss Sylvan Miles dreaded the moment she'd see Lord Rand Malkin again. Once a dashing rogue, he's returned from battle a changed man. Sylvan, too, has suffered. Sharpened by scandal and tragedy, she vows to heal Rand's body and spirit.
But when Sylvan arrives at Clairmont Court, the man she encounters is far from shattered soldier she expects. Rand takes great pleasure in taunting her with stolen kisses and the legend of his ancestor's ghost. But Sylvan isn't fooled by his bravado and sets out to break down his defenses . . . while she fortifies her own against temptation.
"Sylvan is a charming and admirable heroine, and her relationship with Rand is charged with well-wrought and electric eroticism." —Publishers Weekly
