Lady Sophia Aberley swore she would never let Julian Rexley, Earl of Wolfram, in her home or in her sight again. Though years have passed, she has not yet forgotten the humiliation of scandal -- having been banished to the country. But she cannot abandon a friend in need, even if that friend is Julian's sister. And now Sophia's back in London, awash in unwanted emotions ... including a lingering desire for the dashing rogue responsible for her ruin.

Julian can't believe his headstrong young sister has brought Sophia into his home, especially when he knows that she is the "anonymous" author of a tell-all about their past. And he's even more shocked to find out that he still aches to touch the exquisite lady, even though she refuses to admit that it was he who was wronged. Perhaps it's a good thing Sophia dislikes him so. Otherwise he'd find himself surrendering to the intoxicating lure of her kiss -- and they both know the kind of trouble that can lead to!
