PLAYAWAY: Freya de Moray is many things: a member of the secretive Wise Women, the daughter of disgraced nobility, and a chaperone using an assumed name. What she is not is forgiving. So when the Duke of Harlowe, the man who destroyed her family, appears at the country house party she's attending, she does what any Wise Woman would do: she starts planning revenge. Christopher Renshaw, the Duke of Harlowe, is being blackmailed. Reluctantly he agrees to attend a house party where he plans to destroy his blackmailer. But when he recognizes Freya among the guests he realizes his troubles have just begun. Freya knows his sins, sins he'd much rather forget, but she's a fiery temptation he can't resist. When he discovers Freya is in grave danger, he vows to keep her safe. First though, Harlowe has to earn Freya's trust.
