Whe Julien St Clair, earl of March, first sees her, she's dressed like a boy while engaged in a duel with her brother. Since it's her turn to be fatally wouunded, she dies dramatically at Julien's feet.

an interesting beginning, don't you think? As for Julien, he's bored, restless, knows he's missing something in his life, he just doesn't know what --until he meets Katharine and he falls, hard. He wants her more than anything, he's ever watned in his life. He sets out on a courtship that doesn't end, however, the way he'd envisioned. but he deson't give up. Finally, he gains a bride who, unfortunately, is terrified of him. But why?

From the glittering Regency ballrooms of 1814 London to Paris and finally to Switzerland, where everything change sirrevocably between them, Julien finally discovers Katharine's shocking secret.
