He cut a dazzling swath through Victorian London—and wove a web of desire around beautiful and proud Lady Sara St. James, pledged to wed another man. In Peregrine's arms Sara learned the meaning of forbidden passion—and forbidding mystery. Only the burning power of love could pierce Peregrine's chilling silence about his secret past and hidden purpose...as Sara plunged into a whirlpool of yearning and uncertainty with a man who was everything a woman could want or fear...

Suppressing her sensual nature behind a facade of Victorian propriety, Laura Stephenson marries army major Ian Cameron and journeys with him to the mountains of India to build a life together. Reissue.
