Lady Jaclyn Thomas believed she had left her past and the scandal that nearly destroyed her behind. Sent to Havenwood Academy to reclaim her reputation, she vowed never again to let a man hold power over her. There, she found purpose, independence and the chance to become her own woman.

But fate has a way of shattering even the best laid plans...

Kingston Brooks, Duke of Amberwood, the man at the heart of her disgrace, enters her life once again. Memories neither can forget resurface, and the night that ruined her threatens to consume them both. When circumstance force them together over a year later, sparks fly with a heat neither can resist. Desire ignites, tempers clash, and every stolen glance tests their control.

Worse, Jaclyn's brother is determined to keep her happiness just out of reach and Kingston from her life. The very man who publicly declared Kingston the architect of Jaclyn's ruin now stands ready to tear apart her life once again...unless Jaclyn and Kingston are willing to risk everything for love and relive the scandal neither wanted to remember.

Some scandals, it seems, are far too tempting to resist?especially when entwined with love...
