She must never reveal her secret to him…

Victoria Douglas, the youngest of the three Douglas sisters has an outspoken and outrageous nature, matched only by her tender heart. With long flaming-red hair, Victoria spends most of her time with her nieces and nephews regaling them with fanciful tales and playing lively tunes on her flute. Yearning for a family of her own, with a husband who loves her as fiercely as her brothers-in-law love her sisters, Victoria hopes she can find true happiness, even if she must keep her life-long secret from her husband.

He must never allow himself to trust her…

Alexander Emerson, the Earl of Winchester has sewn his share of wild oats, but when he agrees to marry Victoria Douglas, he cannot help but be taken by her ethereal beauty, her open heart, and her ability to charm everyone she meets. But Alexander’s tragic past haunts him, and the only way he can protect himself is to never allow himself to trust his own wife, never allow her to claim his heart, and never fall in love with her.
