SummaryJulian Hampton is the fifth member of the London Dueling
Society, the reserved, enigmatic lawyer to the Laclere
family. All his life, it seemed, Julian had been in love
with Penelope, now Countess of Glasbury. And when he
learned the horrors she had endured at the hands of her
vicious husband, Julian was instrumental in arranging for
her escape to Italy. But he has never forgotten the love
of his childhood, the woman he had rescued first as
a "damsel in distress" when she was a girl, and then for
real once she had blossomed into woman. When Penelope
returns secretly to London, Julian is the one she turns
to, even though her trust in him puts both their
reputations, and ultimately their lives, in peril.
