It's a mad, ill-advised journey that leads the usually sensible Lady  Caroline Blacknall to the legendary isle of Muirin Inish, off the  windswept coast of Ireland.  Even so, she doesn't expect to find  herself shipwrecked and then rescued by a man she believed she would  never see again.  A man who, long ago, held her life in his  hands...and with it, her heart.

 

Reformed rake Sir Grant Dunmore knew he could never forget the  beautiful woman he once endangered, nor will he ever forgive himself  for placing her in harm's way.  But history seems doomed to repeat  itself, for as long as Caroline stays on the island, she is trapped  in a secret plot that could forever free Ireland--or turn deadly for  all.  And yet, now that she is in his arms again, how can he ever  let her go?"
