But Sir Alasdair's cavalier past is about to catch up with him when a beautiful stranger arrives on his doorstep with a basket full of surprises. Miss Esme Hamilton is a gentlewoman tossed out of the home and life she knew in Scotland by a vindictive stepfather. With her infant sister Sorcha in tow, Esme makes her way to London by her wits and her tenacity, and calls on the man she holds responsible for their plight. Sir Alasdair MacLachlan, she is confident, has committed more than a few sins. But Esme vows that Sorcha is one he won't walk away from.

Handsome scoundrel Quin Hewitt has been living a devil-may-care existence for years.

But when Quin's euphoric mother throws an impromptu betrothal party, Quin finds himself faced with an unexpected guest. The beautiful Viviana Alessandri, no longer the unknown opera singer Quin once kept as his mistress, is now the powerful Contessa Bergonzi di Vicenza, worshiped throughout Europe for her voice and passion. But despite her new title and wealth, to Quin's eyes his old love has not changed. She is not suitable. She is not sensible. And she still takes his breath away.
