On the outside, Lauren Fairfield appears the very picture of cool, contained nobility and blueblood British sophistication. Inside, however, she longs for Tom, the charming rogue she loved-and lost. Now a sinfully handsome, yet socially unschooled, would-be gentleman has arrived in London--and Lauren nearly swoons when she realizes it is her Tom, grown to magnificent manhood. He has come to claim his lost title as Earl of Sachse ... and to fulfill an oath once made by tow young lovers beneath a long-ago moon, a scandalous promise no proper lady would dare honor.
