One year ago, Christian Trent, Lord Markham, was forced out of London for a crime he does not remember committing. Determined to return home to prove his innocence, Markham advertises for a governess for his young ward. The widowed Mrs. Sarah Cooper seems to be just the right woman for the position. She might also be right for him, as Sarah seems to know the man who exists underneath the scars. Little does Markham know that Sarah does understand exactly who he was, for reasons that she strives to keep hidden. But as the two journey from Canada to Jamaica to England and their mutual passion illuminates what they could have, their pasts threaten to burn away any hope for their future.
VERDICT Evans (The Man Trap; Invitation to Scandal) brings an interesting twist to the "past-crossed lovers" with her latest title. While the exposition-laden ending is a bit heavy, readers who enjoy serial romances will find this a good opening book. Recommended for all romance collections.
