Awaiting a welcome death after a duel,
Lord Henry Langdon hides in a stable--and is discovered by
a young gentlewoman.
Despite his protests Miss Elisabeth insists on nursing
him back to health, though as far as Lord Langdon is
concerned, he is not worth saving. Jilted as a young man,
he swore
off love long ago and turned to a life of gambling, drinking
and dissolute pleasures. To his surprise, Elisabeth's
tender touch brings healing and hope. Lord Langdon is enthralled
by her beauty--and ready to give his heart to her forever.
But how can he explain his past?
When Elisabeth discovers the
dark scandal that shadows him, Henry must convince her
that he has changed his ways--for
a future filled with the love of one woman only...
