Proud and independent, Savaana Hearnes's extraordinary beauty and fiery gypsy blood have enflamed the passions of many-but she will never be indebted to any man. When an unusual offer from a well-dressed noblewoman is too tempting to resist, however, she agrees to impersonate the newly-wed Lady Clarette Tilmont. But when dashing Sean Gallagher comes to call, all Savaana's carefully laid plans are shattered by desire.

The handsome, rugged Irishman is a welcome change from the aging servants who are watching Savaana's every move, and Sean is pleasantly surprised by the palpable heat of her passion-so uncommon for such a highborn lady! But Sean himself is not what he seems. He is guarding a secret as shocking as Savaana's own. And the mission he is sworn to complete will be compromised if he allows himself to be bewitched by a mysterious minx he burns to hold and to have.
