SummaryThe world thinks he is a paragon. A saint, by Zeus. If
only they knew!
Vergil Duclairc is a man used to getting his way. As the
newly appointed guardian and trustee of Miss Bianca Kenwood,
he is determined to find her and bring her back to live with
his family. The last thing he expects is to find his errant
ward scandalously costumed and employed as a theatrical
singer. He is even less prepared for the relentless
attraction he feels for her, a desire that he cannot pursue
lest it unmask secrets that he must hide, and unravel plans
laid long ago.
Bianca has no interest in giving up her independence, but
there is something compelling about this handsome and
brooding viscount who seems to assume he owns her and her
inheritance. She soon learns that Vergil is a man of secrets
and sensuality, and that she is not immune to his power.
Suddenly, in a moment that would change everything, their
desire ignites and throws them into a scandalous passion,
and into a world of dangerous intrigue.
