Something was terribly amiss at Quendon Abbey!

Brandy's dearest friend was in trouble. Brandy knew her too well to believe she had simply given up her affection for Sir Reggie.

What the devil, she wondered could account for Lara's sudden change of heart?

If that wasn't enough, something was wrong with Lara's brother Denny, the eleven year old new Lord of Quendon.

Who would want the lovable young scamp out of the way and why?

Into the scene at the Abbey stepped the dashing Lord Kurt Marden, whose very presence seemed to upset Lara. His rakish charms had moved Brandy in a way no other man had ever done. But could she trust him? How could she lose her heart to a libertine? Why would he want to harm Denny as Lara believed?

What was to be done?
