    There she had met Matthew Silver.Meeting him again four years later was no accident. He had manipulated events to put her back in his power, and she found that the gentle, considerate lover she'd known had become an unfeeling, hard stranger.He blamed her for their breakup yet he was the one who had left.

    She knew she could only be grateful to this man who so generously offered her a life of aristocratic privilege.Surely she could not imagine ever claiming his heart as well as his hand.
