“One of today’s leading lights in romantic fiction.” —Seattle Times
A classic tale of sensuous deception and bold new beginnings, from the remarkable New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas
"Lady Hawksworth, your husband is not dead . . ."
With these words, Lara's life is turned upside down. Her unhappy, loveless marriage had ended when the Earl of Hawksworth was lost at sea. But now a man stands before her, virile and powerful, who says he is her missing husband, revealing secrets that only he would know. While this dark-eyed stranger closely resembles the earl, he is as attentive and loving as Hunter was cruel and cold, promising to make Lara his wife once again in every way. With every beat of her heart, she aches to believe that this remarkable man is who he claims to be. But is he truly the rake returned and reformed . . . or is Lara being seduced by a cunning imposter?

"Really 3 1/2 stars. Not her earliest work, but she had not yet perfected her heroine in this story and uses her in a way that I didn't like to further the plot. But it is neat to see an author grow and improve by leaps and bounds like Kleypas has."
— Lisa (4 out of 5 stars)

— Trewen, 10/1/2013" Started off great and ended beautifully but the in-between drove me crazy. I absolutely could not stand the heroine. She was way too prude and judgmental. The hero, however, was sigh worthy. "
— Christina, 9/4/2013" Really interesting plot but something was missing from the way it was told. The plot certainly grabbed my attention, but not the characters. Maybe Kleypas should re-use this plot but rework the way she tells the story and develops the characters. "
— Ilze, 8/24/2013" Starts with a mystery that ends exactly as you expect. Which is a shame, because the opposite option would have been SO much more interesting. "
