When a beautiful woman admits a stranger into her London boarding house, she cannot help being irresistibly attracted to him. He is the handsomest man she has ever seen--and so badly wounded he cannot remember his own name. But in his possession is an ancient stone seal that matches one owned by her father. Now in a search that leads to a legendary diamond, and a secret involving Queen Victoria herself, she discovers his true identity, and suddenly, the two are hurtling toward an explosive clash of destinies...and a passionate joining of two desperately yearning hearts.
