When Robert Kemble stumbles across Victoria Lyndon in a hedgerow maze he cant believe his eyes. The girl whod torn him in two who let him plan an elopement & then left him standing by the side of the road was suddenly within arms reach & even though his fury still knew no bounds she was impossible to resist. Victorias father had told her an earl would never marry a vicars daughter & he was right. Robert had promised her marriage then danced off to London while she suffered the shame of a foiled elopement. But even though Victoria doesnt particularly enjoy her new life as a governess when Robert offers her a job of a different sort
- his mistress
- she refuses unable to sacrifice her honour even for him. But Robert wont take no for an answer & he vows to make her his through any means possible. Can these star-crossed lovers learn to trust again? & is love really sweeter the second time round?
