Now, two strangers are about to become engulfed in its tantalizing mystery...

But what she discovers in her late grandfather's private files exposes her to a dangerous—and tempting—world she never imagined. Colonel Lucien Flaherty has devoted his life to duty, country, and family. But all that he believes is shattered when his ancestors' honor is tainted by scandal—and by secrets that link his past to that of a beautiful stranger.
