The bewitchingly beautiful Hannah Bartlett never meant to fall in love, and certainly not with a vicar. But when she meets Vicar Rafe Waterford, she discovers a warmth and tenderness she's searched for her entire life. Not until it's too late does she realize that Rafe holds more than the key to her heart; he possesses the power to destroy her--especially when he discovers who she really is.

For years, Vicar Rafe Waterford's family has made every attempt to find him a wife and see him settled down. Yet, no lady has enchanted him enough to draw him into matrimony...until he crosses paths with the breathtakingly beautiful Miss Hannah Bartlett. Struck by her wit, her charm, and her heart overflowing with love and compassion, he relentlessly pursues her. But when he discovers the secret she's kept from him, that she is Madam Genevieve, owner of London's most famous bordello, their love is tested beyond all measure.
