Lady
Emily Kenton has a
parade of suitors, yet
nothing excites her--or
worries he—-more than
the unexpected return of
her best friend from
childhood to English
society. David left for
India when she was
eight, after his father
presented her family
with the precious Star
of India for
safekeeping. Now Emily
has a terrible secret
about the jewel--one
that's certain to drive
David away forever...
Duty has
called David Huntington,
Earl of Darlinghurst, to
his English estate, and
now he must fulfill the
promise he made to his
grandmother to retrieve
the Star. This task
leads him to Emily, whom
he's never forgotten—and
whose delicate beauty
makes his heart ache
with love. David will do
anything to uncover the
secret she's keeping—and
to prove that she's
worth more to him than
any jewel...
