Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the only one who knows the truth about Hart Mackenzie. Once his fiancee, she is the sole woman to whom he could ever pour out his heart. Hart has it all—a dukedom, wealth, power, influence, whatever he desires. Every woman wants him—his seductive skills are legendary. But Hart has sacrificed much to keep his brothers safe, first from their brutal father, and then from the world. He's also suffered loss: his wife, his infant son, and the woman he loved with all his heart though he realized it too late. Now Eleanor has reappeared on Hart's doorstep, with scandalous nude photographs of Hart taken long ago. Intrigued by the challenge in her blue eyes—and aroused by her charming, no-nonsense determination—Hart wonders if his young love has come to ruin him . . . or save him.

"What a great book! I loved Hart and Eleanor's story. I thought the book had a lot of exciting parts, but also a lot of romantic part with Hart and Eleanor. The book really went deep into what made Hart the man he became in adulthood. It will be a book I will want to reread in the future."

— Booklist Starred Review" I have been waiting quite awhile for Hart's story and waited until I was on vacation to read this book uninterrupted. And I enjoyed it. But honestly, not as much as the ones preceding this one. I love the MacKenzies and I loved Eleanor. I loved that it was never really a question that Hart and Eleanor were in love. But I just wasn't as riveted this go round and right now I can't really put my finger on what was missing. I did enjoy seeing the other family members in the story and I really can't wait to read Daniel's story. I even enjoyed what was happening with Inspector Fellows - perhaps that can be a short novella? "
— Susan, 1/25/2014" All I can say is that I wished there were more Mackensie brothers. I know Daniel will have a book and possibly Fellows but Wow, this was worth the wait. I loved it "
— Pam, 1/17/2014" My rating: 4.5 of 5 "
— Aleksandra, 1/13/2014" Love these books. Love this family. And I really love seeing the invincible Hart Mackenzie showing his softer side (occasionally). I hope she finds someone else to keep this series going. I don't want to leave these people. "
— Sally, 12/27/2013" This was my least favorite of all the Mackenzie brothers. I thought it could have been better. Though I did like the glimpse into all the brothers lives with their wives and their children. "
— Michelle, 12/25/2013" This book, bubbling with secrets, passion, intrigue, danger, humor and romance, is one of the reasons that gifted author Jennifer Ashley is a constant on my list of authors whose books I must read. Actually, I rated this book at 4.5. "
— Dottie, 12/9/2013" Good read. Would like to read about Ion next. "
— 7inthelaakehouse, 11/20/2013" It was a good book, I was not as impressed with the story like the other books but still it was good addition to the series. "
— Slavena, 8/29/2013" Eleanor is one of my all time favorite heroines! "
— Kathy, 8/23/2013" A 4.5 rounds up to five in maths, yes? "
