Family duty and emotional upheaval get in the way of love in Mary Jo Putney's first Regency romance to appear in hardcover. When Kyle, the heir to the Wrexham family inheritance, must forfeit the courtship of his bride-to-be in order to accompany his dying mistress to her home in Spain, he asks his twin brother Dominic to take over his duties as a suitor. If penniless Dominic agrees, he will receive the deed to an estate, which will come in handy, as he is not entitled to inherit his own abode. Enter Lady Meriel Graham, the troubled, orphaned "wild child" who is currently living a reclusive life at her family's estate under the supervision of an assumed eunuch named Kamal. Still recovering from the trauma of her parents' murder and her own capture by bandits, Meriel escapes her suffering by maintaining a labyrinthine garden, watching over an assortment of wild animals, and observing people's auras. When Dominic and Meriel finally meet, he instantly becomes both her suitor and therapist. Soon love blossoms--but not without complications. Dominic has no money, he is supposed to be acting for his brother in this betrothal, and Meriel, meanwhile, is threatened with incarceration in an asylum. Will love conquer all--this time?
