For years Lord Stephen Wrexley had been a rake of the first order, devoted to the pursuit of sensual pleasure, if not to the women who so willingly provided it. The decision to rejoin his old regiment and depart for the peninsula meant only that he faced one last evening of intimate delight. He found himself bewitched by the emerald eyes of the woman who called herself Cat.
Five years later, Stephen returns to England a changed man with only one desire -- to find the elusive Cat, whose memory haunted and sustained him through the horrors of war. But the reunion he craved is soon overshadowed by the suspicion that Cat harbors an unimaginable secret. Now, Stephen must discover if Lady Cat is the answer to his prayers -- and the woman of his dreams.
