Saving a young beauty from certain death is an act worthy of a true gentleman. The small problem is that Miracle Heather did not want to be saved at all, and certainly did not want the savior - the brilliant Lord Riderbourne - to offer her, a famous lady of the demimonde , his protection and patronage.

But the friendship that Riderborn offers Miracle is just part of his plan to win the woman of his dreams!
