Nothing is more seductive than temptation.
Reckless desire sends Charlotte Daicheston into the garden with a dashing masked stranger. He's powerful, unforgettable, a devastatingly handsome footman who lures her--not against her will--into a grand indiscretion at a masquerade ball. Then he vanishes.
Several years later, after Charlotte has made her dazzling debut in London society, they meet again. But the rogue is no footman. He's rich, titled, and he doesn't remember Charlotte. Worse, he's the subject of some scandalous gossip: rumor has it, the earl's virility is in question.
Charlotte, who knows all too intimately the power of his passion, is stunned by the gossip that has set society ablaze. At last, there can be a storybook ending...unless, of course, Charlotte's one mad indiscretion had not been with him at all....
Essas festas populares não são muito adequadas para que duas jovenzinhas da alta sociedade, mas com os disfarces postos, ninguém poderá as reconhecer.
Certamente Charlotte não tinha pensado que essa noite perderia sua virgindade, entretanto isso é exatamente o que acontece quando um atraente desconhecido a leva até o jardim.
Arruinadas suas expectativas de matrimônio, decide que ficará solteira. Três anos mais tarde, Charlotte reconhece seu amante de uma noite na pessoa de Alexander, conde de Sheffield.
