A secret that could ruin her. A deception that might save them both.

Tabitha Paget lives with a secret so dangerous, its exposure could destroy her future and reputation. And there is one man who must never learn the truth-Dominic Lawrence, Marquess of Hawthorne. Not only would scandal follow, but so would the stirrings of a past affection she's tried desperately to forget. Their worlds are too far apart, and Tabitha knows the devastation of a broken heart all too well. She won't risk it again.

Dominic Lawrence is no stranger to regret-especially where Tabitha is concerned. Determined to right old wrongs, he agrees to impersonate his cousin, a country clergyman, to help catch a cunning thief. But maintaining the lie becomes far more complicated when he crosses paths with Tabitha once more. To protect her, he must keep his identity hidden... even if it means breaking her heart all over again.

As secrets tangle and old wounds resurface, Tabitha and Dominic must decide if trust-and love-can survive the weight of the past.
