Lord Rory Sinclair is one of England's
most eligible and desirable bachelors once again, having been jilted by his finacee two years prior. While abroad, trying to heal his bruised heart, Lord Sinclair met a masked maiden at a masquerade.
He dubs her his Queen of Hearts, but he soon discovers she knows nothing of a man's touch. Before he can learn her
identity she slips away into the night. He has had many encounters with women, some ladies of class and refinement,
widows, some married, but none have been able to erase or dull the memory of his scarlet Queen.
Miss Charlotte Clermont, has declined another marriage proposal.
Unladylike visions from a midnight tryst, that left Charlotte confused and secretly longing for a man she doesn't truly
know, invade her every waking moment. But under no circumstances can Miss Clermont allow the newly returned Viscount
to learn her true identity.
