Socialite Abigail Conners has always gotten what she wants. At least until now. When the plans for her nuptials go down in flames, she simply cannot stay in Eureka Springs and be the object of voracious gossip. Nor does she intend to stay and watch her former fiance marry the woman of his dremas. Bitter, angry, and humiliated, Abigail searches for somewhere to go.
When Marcus Wellington receives a telegram asking for his protective services for the daughter of a family friend, he doesn't hesitate to oblige. But as he observes and investigates Abigail Conners, what he sees doesn't quite match up with what he's heard.
Which Abigail is real-the manipulative, vindictive woman of Eureka Springs, or the lovely young lady Marcus sees before him in Hot Springs? And will Abigail overcome the past to find a love of her own?
