Publisher's Synopsis
Surprising The war-scarred Thornton Lindsay, Duke of Penborne, can scarcely believe the news when a beautiful stranger comes to London proclaiming to be his lover. Secretive Caroline Anstretton is on the run and desperate. Her gamble that the reclusive Duke won't leave the sanctuary of his home is lost when he coolly confronts her. Sensual Courtesan or charlatan, Thorn is intrigued by both sides of this mysterious, sensual woman. There's a vulnerability beneath her smile and easy laughter. Could she bet the one to mend a life he'd thought damaged beyond repair?
