Publisher's Synopsis
Strong-willed and beautiful, Charlotte Forbes is due to inherit her father's fortune on her eighteenth birthday, but even money cannot destroy the scandal lurking in her past. From the moment that Sir James Caraddon, the rising star of Pitt's government, informs Charlotte of her inheritance, both their lives are turned upside down. Time after time, the two are thrown together and, as James is forced to protect Charlotte from the unsavoury characters who have an eye on her wealth, the two find themselves fighting an inevitable attraction.
