Philippa grew up eagerly anticipating a glittering debut and a brilliant marriage. Then her brother caught their father out in a clandestine affair and denounced him publicly. The whole family was disgraced, and Philippa's hopes grew dim. Years later in London, she is an instant success and enjoys a close friendship with the granddaughter of a duke. The Duke of Wilby is nearing death and has tasked his grandson and heir, Lucas Arden, Marquess of Roath, with marrying and producing a son before it is too late. Lucas is instantly attracted to his sister's new friend...until that young lady asks a simple question: "Remember me?" And suddenly he does remember her, as well as the reason why she is the one woman he can never marry-even if his heart tells him she is the only woman he wants.
