Beautiful Russet Ingram was the toast of the London social set with many suitors clamoring for her attentions. But she had no intention of stealing anyone's beau. And she certainly was not interested in Lucian Staneborough, who was allegedly betrothed to sharp-tongued Letty Waydene. Letty, however, was suspicious and told her guardian, handsome and wealthy James Cameron, that Russet was threatening her marriage - and her happiness. She begged Cameron for his help. So it was that on the beginning of Russet's journey to Rome, her carriage was stopped and she was abducted - and taken to Cameron's estate. She was an unwilling prisoner for nearly a month. Then, suddenly, things began to change.
