She buried her husband twelve years ago...didn't she?
As the founder of a society of lady detectives, beautiful and intrepid widow Lady Charlie Fayne has made it her life's mission to help women in need. Her desire stems from her own dark past...which rises like a spectre during her latest case. Suddenly, everything she has worked for-her independence, her society, and her future-is threatened by secrets and heartbreak she cannot escape...and steamy passion she cannot resist.
Torn between her past and present, between a charming new suitor and a seductive second chance romance, Charlie must decide her own fate. Yet every move she makes also unravels a deadly mystery that could lead to her undoing. Choosing who to trust and who to love will prove to be Charlie's most perilous mission yet.
