Eight years after fleeing England in the wake of a terrible scandal, Sophie Dane is no longer the trusting debutante betrayed by love.

Now as companion to a worldly French widow, she returns to London where her arrival instantly sets tongues wagging…and attracts the roving eye of aristocratic Trevor Hamilton. But it is his mysterious brother, Caleb, in whom Sophie senses a kindred soul—and who captivates her as no other man has before.

Reared on the continent, Caleb has come home to his ailing father—only to be shunned by society as a fortune-hunting imposter. Sophie, alone, seems to believe in him. But an unexpected series of events sets them both in flight once more. As scandal pursues them to a remote ancestral estate, a man and a woman haunted by the past will defy every convention on earth for a future in each other’s arms…

Booklist….”After eloping with a man who turned out to be interested only in her fortune, then divorcing the scoundrel, Sophie Dane is sent off to the Continent, where she becomes a companion to Honorine Fortier. Now eight years after Sophie shocked the ton, Honorine announces her intent to visit London. Sophie hopes to keep her return to English society quiet, but when she finds herself attracted to mysterious, handsome Caleb, the illegitimate half-brother of nobleman Trevor, who also happens to be courting her, Sophie once again finds her love life has all of London gossiping. The youngest sister of Julian, the hero of London’s ” The Ruthless Charmer” (2000), Sophie is remarkably engaging. Bedeviled by her own insecurities and confused about what she wants out of life, she comes across as a real person. And when London pairs her up with a hero who knows a thing or two about being ostracized, then mixes in appealingly eccentric secondary characters, a bit of danger and suspense, and some nice touches of humor, the result is one delightfully imaginative romance….Booklist, copyright 2002, American Library Association.
