Publisher's Synopsis
Some secrets are never meant to see the light of day.
Miss Lizette Kent's life is in shambles. Not only did her mother just pass away, but she has been left without the means to provide for herself. While she is contemplating her future, she encounters an unexpected and vexing man: Tristan Westcott, a man that mistakenly seems to believe that she is the daughter of an earl, despite her insistence that she is not.
Tristan does not have time for games, but Lady Lizette is playing a maddening one with him. Lord Ashington assigned him to retrieve his granddaughter so that she may take her rightful place in Society. When their first meeting goes awry, he is forced to wait until she accepts the truth and allows him to escort her to London.
As two proud hearts negotiate a ceasefire, they reluctantly discover that they enjoy the other's company and begin to rely on one another. But as truths are unraveled, Lizette realizes that her future- and her heart- are in danger of being shattered.
