Gideon Redgrave, eldest child of the late Earl of Saltwood, refuses to be humbled by the scandal that once tore his family apart. He's built his life in London society around one rule: trust no one. So the last thing he wants is to play guardian and role model to a headstrong boy...or to engage in a battle of wills with the boy's spirited half–sister, who is fighting Gideon for custody.

But the more they lock horns, the more Gideon realises he'd prefer to have Jessica on his side...and in his arms. Especially now that a new threat – sprung from his father's supposedly defunct secret society – is poised to destroy the Redgraves once and for all.
