From nationally bestselling author Elizabeth Thornton comes a sensuous new tale of true love and fiery romance-under the most intriguing of circumstances. Case Devere, the steely-eyed earl of Castleton, has agreed to help Special Branch track down a notorious killer-one who just happens to be his archenemy. But he finds more than he bargained for when his search leads him to Jane Mayberry, a beautiful bluestocking passionately devoted to the cause of women's rights-and to protecting her privacy. As irresistible as she is uncooperative, the spirited Jane arouses Case's interest-as well as his worst suspicions-when she quietly disappears. Determined to find the one woman who may hold the key to his investigation-and to his heart-Case goes after her. Though their sparring belies an attraction too powerful to deny, Jane knows there can never be anything between herself and the strong-willed earl. For she bears a dark and terrifying secret that must remain hidden-even at the cost of a broken heart. As Case fights for the love of the one woman who has ever mattered to him, they are swept into a deadly game by a killer who won't stop until he has punished them both.
