Sir Justin Beverley is the youngest son of a noble family. He believes no one expects anything more from him than drinking and charming his way through life.

But when the temptation proves too much can he step up and be the man she deserves?
Lady Riana Lichfield has always been different, more in tune with the emotional than the intellectual. Though safe under the protection of her sister's new husband, Riana believes she'll never have her own life. She wants a love of her own, a hero to save her like her sister was saved. When a threat from her past returns, can Justin be the man to keep her safe? Can everything she craves be found in the knight's chamber?
