A reputation in ruins . . .Lovely Meg Shaw is a respectable governess in a wealthy household -- and it is her duty to bring her charge safely home when the headstrong heiress runs away.

A heart at risk . . .
An infuriating scoundrel, Daffyd has his own reasons for wanting to join Meg on her journey -- though scandal will certainly ensue if she's discovered in the company of the ton'smost notorious black sheep. Yet something powerful and inexplicable -- something more than a need for safety in the night -- is drawing Meg into his bold and brash arms. And her good name may well be the price she must pay for surrendering to the sweet temptation of her untamed gypsy lover . . .

About the Author
Edith Layton wrote her first novel when she was ten. She bought a marbleized notebook, her goal being that the story fit between the covers. Now, an award-winning author with more than twenty-five novels and novellas to her credit, her criteria have changed. The story has to fit the reader as well as between the covers.
Graduating from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in creative writing and theater, Edith worked for various media, including a radio station and a major motion picture company. She married and went to suburbia, where she was fruitful and multiplied to the tune of three amazingly creative children. She also shares her life with the gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog, Georgette; a foundling parakeet, Little Richard; and assorted pond fish, which too often provide impromptu sushi for wandering herons at her Long Island home.
