0 For the sake of the old Earl, who has fallen ill, Angela and Lord Daventry have agreed to a sham engagement. After the death of the Earl, when she is supposed to call the engagement off, Angela realizes that she loves Lord Daventry. “Though we’re as different as night and day, I want this to be a real engagement.” She conveys her feelings to him, but Lord Daventry, thinking she’s confusing love with pity, turns her down. Lord Daventry believes that Angela should marry the vicar, who loves her, and not a man who hides his terrible wound behind a mask and is feared as “Lord Lucifer.”

Julianna had lost everything—her father to illness, her belongings to bankruptcy, her beloved sweetheart to a voyage to the South Seas. Thrown into marriage by her vile stepbrother, she meets her husband-to-be on their wedding day. Sir Edmund is cold, distant and twenty years her senior! “Is this what my life has come to?” Strangely enough, he suggests that they keep their relationship chaste. He is hard to read and full of mystery, but as Julianna learns more about him, she can’t help but feel drawn to the kindness she discovers. Could her heart, promised to her beloved Crispin, possibly be swayed?
