About the book
Lord Griffin disappeared five years ago into the wilds of Brazil, leaving a fiancée in England. Now he has returned to claim her, but she is betrothed to a duke, who not only outranks him but is a far more suitable match for Myra. Though a beauty, Myra hasn't the spirit and charm of her younger sister, Alice, who has always treasured her memories of Griffin. But he is so intent on winning back his fiancée that he scarcely notices the child who has grown into a delightful woman.
