Fastidious readers may be irked when McNaught's prose plummets into ``the stormy splendor of the pagan kiss'' or by an occasional anachronism. McNaught is at her best with these two willful lovers and fans should welcome the reappearance of Jordan and Alexandra Townsende (from bestseller Something Wonderful ). But her reputation is shattered when she is discovered in the arms of Ian Thornton, a notorious gambler and social outcast. They eye each other warily, irritation and sheer bafflement vying with passion. A bungling secretary erroneously accepts on behalf of scornful Ian, so, baggage and duenna in tow, Elizabeth lands at the door of Ian's hunting lodge. Quando Ian Thornton, um homem atraente, de origem misteriosa e perigosamente hábil nos jogos sociais aparece, a ingenuidade de Elizabeth a impede de suspeitar de seu comportamento. Finally her uncle decides to marry her off, dangling a generous dowry to entice former suitors to reinstate their offers. Elizabeth's half-brother shoots Ian in a duel and disappears, while she becomes an outcast. When orphaned Lady Elizabeth Cameron is discovered in the arms of Ian Thornton, said to be a gambler and blackguard, her reputation is destroyed.
