Langdon Bourne, the Duke of Stonecliffe, sees little left in life to recommend itself after his brother sweeps off with his intended bride. That is, until his brother and former fiancee ask the impossible of him: to track down the man responsible for Lady Afton's murder. Reluctantly agreeing to undertake the task, Langdon luckily has one strategic ally: the widow of a man with connections to the crime organization responsible for the murder. Exiled from polite society and wise beyond her years, Grace Crowthers's heartbreaking vulnerability and surprising resilience call to Langdon like a siren's song, forcing him to realize that he's never really known love--until now. Having sworn off men forever, Grace attempts to resist temptation, but the Duke speaks to her body and mind, urging her to give herself completely to him.
