She'll never let anyone break her heart. Not again, anyway?


Lady Sarah Farley has learned many of life's lessons the hard way. She now knows the ton will viciously turn on anyone, anytime. And love? That only brings devastation. But when a particularly handsome ghost from her past re-emerges, she can't help but wonder if life is about to teach her poor wounded heart yet another painful, unwanted lesson.


Lord Giles Longe, Marques Gordan, never wanted to hurt Sarah. But he couldn't have married her back then. His father wouldn't have allowed it. Everything is different now, though. He will make amends. And if it's the last thing he ever does, he will make her remember the friendship-and pleasure-they once shared.


Is a Christmas ball at St. Albans Abbey the perfect setting for Sarah to regain her trust in love-and in Giles? Or is their second chance at happily ever after doomed to end as badly as their first?
