Susan era poco más que una niña cuando conoció el amor en los brazos de su amigo Con, en una caverna en los acantilados de Dover. Quizás por su juventud reaccionó como lo hizo, y lo apartó de su lado cuando descubrió que él no era, como ella creía, el heredero del condado de Wyvern. Once años después, vuelven a encontrarse en las mismas tierras. Pero Con ya no es el mismo: la guerra en Europa ha curtido un corazón ya dolido por el rechazo, y además, por un capricho del destino, ha vuelto convertido en conde. Susan vive ahora al filo de la ley, entregada al peligroso negocio del contrabando. Se ha arrepentido muchas veces de aquel impulso que la privó del verdadero amor, y ahora está convencida de que sería imposible intentar siquiera recuperarlo? ¿o quizás aún tiene una oportunidad? Jo Beverley vuelve a demostrar que es una maestra del romance histórico en esta aventura llena de giros inesperados, sensualidad y pasión.

Lady Mara St. Bride has never backed down from a good adventure, which was how she wound up roaming the streets of London in the middle of the night, wearing nothing but a shift and corset beneath an old blanket. Luckily, her brother’s oldest friend, the devilishly sexy Lord Darius Debenham, answered her plea for help. Now she intends to repay the favor... Before he was wounded at Waterloo, Dare had embraced everything life had to offer. Forever changed by the war, he now believes nothing—not even the interference of a lovely young minx like Mara—can rescue him from his demons. But Mara is determined to reignite his warm smile, and enlists the help of all the Rogues to offer Dare a temptation he cannot resist...
