Prim, plain, desperately virtuous Lady Mary Fairchild stared at the seductive gentleman and wondered -- did he remember the elements of the night they met Surely not. In the ten years since, she had abandoned her youthful impetuousness and transformed herself into a housekeeper -- disguising her beauty beneath a servant's dour clothing determined to conquer the passions of the past.
But Sebastian Durant, Viscount Whitfield, did recognize her as a Fairchild, one of his family's bitter enemies. When he demanded her help recovering a stolen diary, she dared not refuse him. When he proposed they masquerade as a betrothed couple, loyalty forced her to agree. And when the restraint between them shattered and pleasure became an obsession, Mary had to trust a powerful man who could send her to the gallows ... or love her through eternity.
New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd writes 'edge-of-the-seat suspense' (Iris Johansen) with 'brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor that are pure Dodd' (ALA Booklist). Her fifty-eight books have been called 'scary, sexy, and smartly written' by Booklist and, much to her mother's delight, Dodd was once a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle.
