A man with secrets. A woman seeking answers. A love they'll risk their lives to save. Lady Noelle Bromleigh won't rest until she finds the blackguard who destroyed her mother. Defying the conventions of 19th-century society, she travels to London unchaperoned and alone. Out of her element in the teeming, treacherous city, she meets the earl of Tremlett, a man who treats her with suspicion and awakens passion as dangerous as it is irresistible. Hell-bent on his own mission to right a terrible wrong, Ashford Thornton can't believe the ravishing country beauty could lead him to the enemy he seeks. Torn between distrust and his growing need to protect Noelle, the earl must keep her at arm's length. All will be lost if he fails in his quest, but now far more is at stake. For the secrets he harbors threaten the life of the woman who has already laid claim to his heart.

From Booklist:

Nicknamed "Tempest," Lady Noelle Bromleigh first appeared in Kane's Yuletide Treasure's (1995) as the precocious four-year-old adopted daughter of Earl Eric Bromleigh. Now 18, the spunky and impetuous beauty feels compelled to satisfy her curiosity about her biological sire, Franco Baricci, reputed to be an unscrupulous scoundrel. On the train to Baricci's London art gallery, Noelle meets the charming Earl Ashford Thornton, who is investigating Baricci for art theft. Sharing an unabated sense of adventure, they later hatch a plan to unveil Baricci's crimes, and in the process nurture their blazing passions for each other. But their courtship is fraught with the dangers of unraveling both the art thefts and a murder, and Noelle must use her strength and cunning with a dash of help from Ashford to prevent her own murder. Kane's tale is fast paced, and although historical, the language flows easily. The characters are likable: the women are determined and intelligent, and the men appreciate and encourage them.
