The last man Judith Worth wants to see again is Christian Trent, the Marquess of Ashfordâthe man who spent summers at her family home, who kissed her one magical nightâŚand then heartlessly ruined her father. But when a tricky business matter arises, heâs the only one she can ask for help. With any luck, heâll engage a servant to take care of the matter, and she wonât even have to talk with him.
But Ashford has never forgotten Judith. He knows she will never forgive him for what heâs done, but when offered the chance to assist her, he arrives in person. His memory of Judith may have haunted him, but it pales in comparison to the reality of the vivacious, beautiful woman he rediscovers. Throughout his life, he has always done what is correct. But now, he finds himself doing something utterly wrongâŚfalling in love with the one woman he can never have.
