First published November 1, 2004 (Booklist).
Stoic and enigmatic solicitor Julian Hampton is the soul of propriety. Men trust him as a confidant; women find him mysterious. Julian remains polite but inscrutable, deeply in love for years with someone he can never have and who has no idea he feels this way about her: Penelope, countess of Glasbury and sister to his good friend, viscount LaClere. Long ago, she confided her abuse by Glasbury to Julian, and he made sure she was safe and away from England. Glasbury has decided he needs an heir and is following her in order to force her back. Once again she turns to Julian. This time, Julian is determined to ensure her safety once and for all. To do it, he risks his professional and personal reputations, and even his life, to spare Penelope the horror of her marriage. Every woman dreams of being the object of some man’s secret passion, and readers will be swept away by Hunter’s hero and her latest captivating romance. — Maria Hatton
