"An actress by trade, Julia St. Clement has never played a part so dangerous. With cropped hair, a false mustache, and a friend posing as her 'wife,' Julia sets out to warn Lord Anthony Rastmoor of a cruel plot against him. Depsite his betrayal years ago, she still loves him. Rastmoor, however, believes Julia died in another man's bed. His memories of their painful affair have left him wary of everyone. For instance, there's something odd about this young couple he just met--especially the husband. The man's face seems so familiar...and too pretty, somehow... Then shots ring out through the night and the 'wife' disappears. Rastmoor and Julia are left to form an uneasy alliance. It'll only be a matter of time before he unmasks her--and with a past so passionate, there's no telling what will happen when he does."--P. [4] of cover.
