About the book
Is the handsome, dashing man Aurora meets so precipitously in the woods really the long-lost Lord Kenelm Raiker? Or is he actually Kenelm's illegitimate half-brother, posing as the baron? Aurora, captivated in spite of herself, is determined to learn the truth. Lady Raiker, greedy, ambitious, and ruthless, claims that the stranger is not Kenelm, the banished son of the late Lord Raiker. She wants the title and the fortune for herself, but must prove that Kenelm is not the rightful heir. Aurora watches Kenelm's easy and seductive charm work on every woman he sees. She, too, finds him very attractive, but what if he is an impostor? She could be falling in love with a murderer.
