They called her "The Unattainable." A regal beauty who had besotted half of London's elibible gentlemen with love. And though Miss Euphemia (Mia) Buchanan liked them all, love was simply not in the picture. But the accident was to change all that. The accident that had almost killed her and her brother. Suddenly Mia found herself convalescing at Dominer, the ancestral home of the infamous Garret Hawkhusrt, who, rumor had it, had murdered his wife and son--and for whom Mia had developed a dangerous tenderness.
