The return of the disappearing duke

He's back Rafe has spent years running from his true identity. He's a lone wolf, living far from aristocratic England and his violent father. Then unconventional Cleopatra Osbourne requests his protection as she crosses the Egyptian desert. In Cleo he discovers a fellow outcast - and a fierce desire! But Cleo must return to London, and here lies Rafe's dilemma. Because following his heart means claiming the title he's avoided for so long! Whispers of Captain Kit Carrington - now Lord Westford - have long scandalised the ton. So his arrival at the season's most-anticipated ball sends gossips into a frenzy! Miss Genevieve Maitland needs his help to find an eligible match for her sister, but assumes he'll be reluctant to help the family that rejected him. Yet after one spine-tingling waltz, Genny finds he's not her opponent - but a very tempting ally.
