Soon, he will discover the secret that haunts her lovely eyes and will make a decision that will change their lives forever.

Inside, however, she longs for Tom, the charming rogue she loved -- and lost. Now a sinfully handsome would-be gentleman has arrived in London -- and Lauren nearly swoons when she realizes it is her Tom, grown to magnificent manhood.

But the wildness she adored still lives in Tom's heart -- and he will not rest until he proves to the proud, resisting beauty that "forever" is a promise that must be kept...
