From the back...
Is her heart pure enough to survive the necklace's curse? Knowing that she alone cannot protect her sister from the Baron Harwood, their lecherous step-father, Victoria Temple Whiting snatches the family heirloom necklace, believed to hold the power to bring great happiness or terrible tragedy, to pay for their escape to London. Terrified that the baron will find them, Victoria poses as Tory Temple and finds employment as a servant in the household of handsome Cordell Easton, the scanalous Earl of Brant.
The sister's arrival could not have been more welcome. In need of a new mistress, Cord turns to Tory, whose wit and intellect intrugue him. But when the baron discovers the girls' whereabouts, Cord learns Tory's secret-her noble birth. Furious that he has compromised the daughter of a peer, Cord must decide-marry Tory and keep her safe, or allow his stubborn pride to deny his heart.
