She's the mystery debutante of the season, who arrived on the London scene as if from out of nowhere. But Lord Damon Ravencroft knows her dark secret. Two years before, when she was roaming with Gypsies and living by her wits in India, he'd hired her as a housemaid in his manor house, and she stole from him a rare and valuable opal once belonging to Empress Josephine. Damon intends to be compensated for its loss, which set him back years in his quest to prove his innocence in a crime he's accused of committing. The sizable dowry that comes with Lady Elizabeth Sheffield's hand in marriage is a start. It's also his price to keep her secret from all of London. But there's more to the marriage of convenience that Damon proposes than Elizabeth had anticipated, but by the time she learns what it is, she's already Lady Damon Ravencroft, and she's trapped in a marriage with a man who both stirs her passions and fuels her resentment toward the man she was forced to wed.Her Master's Touch
