Miss Helen Langley felt the first pangs of love seven years ago when her brother’s best friend examined her sprained ankle. She has suffered in silence ever since. A lady might engage in mild flirtation, but Nicholas St. Clair is considered part of her family and acts like a brother. When a fortune-teller insists Helen will find her future husband sitting in a cowpat, she fears she is destined to marry a farmer, not the impeccably dressed Mr St. Clair.
Honour demands he treat her like a sister.
Nicholas has sworn never to marry. His parents’ disastrous relationship was enough to keep any man from the marriage mart. Besides, the only woman to capture his heart treats him like a brother, leaving him no choice but to maintain an indifferent facade.
Fate has other plans.
But when Nicholas and Helen are embroiled in a case of blackmail and murder, they must work together to find the villain.
Will Helen’s secret love for Nicholas ever be more than an obsession?
Will Nicholas defy his friend and tell Helen how he feels?
