For the beautiful young widow had injured Denbigh's rigid pride years ago by jilting him for another man. Now that Judith was free from her nightmare marriage to that other man, the bold and handsome Marquess made no secret that he had her in his sights and wanted her in his arms.

And after she had made so grievous a mistake in love once, how could she ever trust her own heart's desire again?" -- Back cover.
