Then Kit disappears from Violet's life. Lost, she dedicates the next decade to becoming a true lady, only to have her world turned upside down one night at a ball in London. There she encounters a handsome and celebrated sword master—and recognizes him as her childhood friend. Soon the flames of their forbidden past reignite into a passion neither of them can refuse.
Kit can no more resist his first love now than he could years ago. But she's been promised to another. Sworn to protect her, he vows that he will also find a way to possess her . . . no matter what stands in his way.

Hunter’s second Bridal Pleasures historical romance (after A Duke’s Temptation) springs from an innocent childhood friendship in the 19th-century English countryside. Miss Violet Knowlton is the naïve ward of her aunt and uncle; Kit is a workhouse boy who escapes “the palace” on occasion to explore the churchyard graves. Too soon, the two must abandon child’s play for the adult world. When they chance to meet again during an impressive performance of Kit’s swordsmanship, he is surprised to find Violet a gentlewoman, rising in society and betrothed to boorish Sir Godfrey. As they dance together for the first time, memories of their friendship add “a secret intimacy, a whisper of spice to their reunion.” With so much against them, however, can their renewed affair stand a chance? Hunter draws the reader in with a compelling plot and engaging characters in this smoothly written tale of love lost and found.
