"The talented Camp has deftly mixed romance and intrigue to create another highly enjoyable Regency romance." —Booklist
Juliana Holcott grew up poor and had a difficult childhood. Only one person was every kind to her: Nicholas Barre, who suffered equally at the hands of their indifferent guardians. But wild, rebellious Nick left home while both he and Juliana were still young, and she never thought she would see him again.
Years later, forced to seek employment as a lady's companion, Juliana fears she'll never experience for herself what it's like to be young and merry and in love . . . until she spies Nicholas at a ball, all grown up and more handsome than ever.
Much sought after and newly come into an inheritance, Nick blithely risks society's wrath by befriending Juliana, and when his innocent attentions cause her to lose her position, nobly offers her the only recompense he can--a marriage of convenience.
As their feelings for each other begin to deepen, Juliana must prove to the badly scarred Nick that he is capable of emotion. But soon, it becomes clear someone wants Nick's title...badly enough to kill for it. Can Juliana protect her new husband's heart--and his life?
