Publisher's Summary:

Sabrina Savage has been raised to be a perfect lady. When her father dies under mysterious circumstances, she is shocked and upset. At his funeral,she meets a stranger, Adam St. Aubyn, marquess of Stonehurst, who helps her mourn and promises to help her uncover the truth about his untimely death. She can barely admit it to herself, though, how much a man she has never met before can stir her heart and her passions, can make her feel like she has known him all her life, can make her feel as if he is her savior. Then, at the reading of her father's will, she learns that she has been pledged to Adam since childhood and that he had come to collect his unknown bride.

Fiercely independent of spirit, Sabrina challenges Adam to release her from their vows if she should find a more suitable match among London's ton. But in her heart, she cannot resist the powerful seduction of his personality. He guards his secrets as closely as he guards his heart while his gaze pierces her soul. And, unknown to her, he is as deeply stricken with love for Sabrina as she is with love for him.

"Fate Has Been Set Into Motion, and Cannot be Undone"

Sabrina Savage and half-sister Courtney were adopted when babies and had a wonderful life. Then their father was found hanging in his study. The Marquess Adam St. Aubyn and his uncle, a Baron, show up at the funeral to help the girls who are in their late teens. Adam is the most handsome man Sabrina has ever seen and there is instant attraction between them. Everyone says Sabrina's father committed suicide, but the girls are sure he was murdered. Plans are made for the girls "coming out", and they all travel to London. There are lots of characters in this Regency story.

The story is convoluted, somewhat complex, and mostly based on cultural prejudices. The writing could use some work; it doesn't flow, and some issues are brought up but not really addressed. For instance, Sabrina decides there is no way Adam could be having sexual relations outside of marriage. Ha! He has a mistress, even if he has stopped sleeping with her since he met Sabrina. Sabrina never discusses this with Adam.

This was an OK read, but could have been so much better.

Standard stuff, amusing enough

The book opens with the death ruled as being suicide of Sabrina Savageï¿s adopted father. Sabrina and her sister are attempting to get their father an honourable burial, but are being thwarted by both their parish priest and their good friend. Adam, Marquess of Stonehurst proves himself a saviour when he arrives and helps Sabrina toll the bell for her father. The two have not met before, but it emerges that Adam was on his way to meet with the Savage family. Further, that their families have long arranged the betrothal of the two. Drawn to Adam, Sabrina nonetheless vows not to marry until her fatherï¿s death is proven to be the murder she and her sister know that it must be. Further, she will marry Adam only if she cannot find a more ï¿suitableï¿ fiancé among Londonï¿s ton. Adam knows she will not, and agrees to her conditions. But Adam is not entirely what he seems.
