Then into her life steps a most unconventional man.Jonathon Strang, East India merchant and widower, lets nothing stand in the way of success, in business or in pleasure.On spying Antonia, Jonathon is immediately smitten. He sees a beautiful woman who has not only lost the love of her life, and her exalted position in society, but is bullied, badgered, and totally misunderstood. She needs someone to talk to and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on.Antonia's opinion of Jonathon is less charitable. Insufferably arrogant. Overbearing. Dangerous. She must keep her distance. Better still, she will ignore him and pretend they had never been introduced."Seldom has history and romance melded together with such beauty and delectable deliciousness than this!
