He'd accosted her on a dark London street, sure that she was his missing wife. But a few moments in her company assured Marcus Lytton that Miss Catherine Courtnay was nothing like Catalina.

A BEAUTIFUL IMPOSTOR

As the infamous Earl of Wrotham waited impatiently for her answer, Catherine knew she was going to agree to his proposition, but not for the reasons he thought.

Yet when he insisted that his life was in jeopardy, she believed him. And only when she found herself ensconced in his home and in his bedchamber did Catherine stop to realize just how dangerous her own position was...as Marcus began to plumb the depths of her secrets--and her secret desires...
