He came to steal her jewels, but stole her heart
instead...

Welcome to a
world of scandal, intrigue, betrayal and romance—Lady Julia Leighton's world.
There are forbidden passions, a love triangle, and deep, dangerous secrets of
every kind.

Just a year
or so ago, Julia was a lovely earl's daughter, celebrating her betrothal to
David, the Duke of Temberlay and set for a life of elegance and luxury.

But at her
betrothal ball, she meets a stranger, a man who makes her feel like the most
beautiful woman in the world—and when your fiancé thinks of you more as a
little sister than a bride, that kind of attention can certainly turn a lady's
head.

Thomas
Merritt is a thief with a secret past of his own. He attended Julia's betrothal
ball to steal her jewels, but ended up leaving with far more, utterly bewitched
by the beautiful, innocent Lady Julia. After their one glorious evening
together, Thomas leaves London, knowing he can never be part of her world
again.
