Six years ago, Elizabeth Harewood and Lord Roland Penhallow were London's golden couple, young and beautiful and wildly in love. Forced apart by her scheming relatives and his clandestine career, Lilibet and Roland buried their passion beneath years of duty and self-denial, until a chance holiday encounter changes everything they ever knew about themselves . . . and each other.

When Roland turns up mysteriously at the castle where she's hidden herself away, she struggles to act as a lady should, but the gallant lover of her youth has grown into an irresistibly dashing and dangerous man, and temptation is only a single kiss away . . .

“Gray follows the innovative A Lady Never Lies with a somewhat more standard romance—still as enchanting due to her clear prose, the marvelous Tuscan setting, and the appealing characters. Though some may find the heroine’s choices disturbing, Gray motivates her characters well and, by interweaving three love stories into each novel, readers eagerly await the next story. Gray’s talent for storytelling and characterization will make her a fan favorite.”
