Unlike the other professionally ambitious heroines in the series, sweet Cassandra wants a conventionally happy domestic life, and she doubts Tom is capable of true love even if she does relish stolen moments with him that set her blood on fire. Cassandra knows that Tom, a family friend who has appeared in earlier installments of the series, is notoriously devoid of normal human emotion. He’s never been so instantly attracted to anyone in his life and wonders if possessing this beautiful woman might be his ticket out of boredom. When he overhears a distraught Lady Cassandra Ravenel mourn her failure on the marriage mart, Tom volunteers himself.
Having proved himself, he feels an inchoate longing for something new, something more. His razor-sharp intellect, cunning, and photographic memory have helped him win great political and financial power, even over the noblemen who would sooner spit on him than do business with him. Tom Severin has fought tooth and nail to raise himself up from the slums of London. Can instant attraction become something more for a ruthless railway magnate with a frozen heart?
