"Lady Sarah deeply mourned the loss of her childhood friend, Hugh. Because of this, she would not allow herself strong attachments - except to her nine-year-old neighbor, William. So, when a dark stranger saves William's life, she is deeply indebted to him. Despite saving William, Sarah isn't sure if she can trust the handsome stranger. He takes a mysterious interest in her young friend that she doesn't understand. And, despite her misgivings, she finds herself falling in love with him. But...who is he?"
