Melpomene Lowery cares not a whit for Society, but her archaeologist father is willing to indulge her unseemly passion for a nearby ruin only so far.

A more arrogant man Mellie has never met--until she realizes that St. Leger's formidable façade hides a beguiling charm...

He's avoided the parson's mousetrap so long, he's not at all certain what to make of his feelings--until a dangerous adversary eager to steal the pair's Roman find proves that in Mellie, St. Leger has discovered the most precious treasure of all...
