Viscount Pottinger lost his fortune. Miss Tara Shaw could lose her reputation. Could they gain a future together? Viscount James Pottinger wants to return to his estate and hide away. Yes, he has lost a great deal of his fortune but the circumstances were deeply embarrassing. Only on the encouragement of his friends does he return, hoping beyond hope that he can recover some of his wealth but keep what occurred a secret. Miss Tara Shaw knows what she saw that night but cannot tell a single soul for fear of losing her reputation. Having lost a personal item on that fateful night, she must risk it all to find it – only to bump directly into Lord Pottinger. Forced together, will either one of them tell the other the truth? Will Lord Pottinger recover his fortune or will his shame keep him silent – both about that evening and his growing feelings for Miss Shaw?
