But when he learns otherwise, Frederick doubts he could ever make amends for their unfortunate introduction. Until he spots Angel at a ball that could ruin her reputation...and he feels honor bound to save her! Abused by her late husband, Angel has come to the risque ball for a little harmless flirtation. And she finds it with a mysterious stranger known only as Max.
