But she has no funds and is still a social pariah. Then the enigmatic Lady Josephine Milford steps in, and Laura is given a position as the elderly woman's companion. Laura, of course, is overjoyed-until she learns that Lady Josephine's nephew is the Earl of Copley, the man who brought those accusations against Laura's father and broke her heart years ago. Anger and distrust war with the passion that still sparks between the pair as they work together to learn the truth-and end up in danger from a source they never anticipated.
