Serena Percy is no believer, but the psychic knew things no one else could have known. When Lady Serena and her brother learn that their parents' killers fled to the Americas, they cross the ocean to a new land. But before they can unravel the dark threads of the conspiracy, a familiar face finds them. Vincent Mandeville, twice betrayed and drunk on all the whiskey in Ireland, arrives in the United States and pursues Serena at his first sight of her. But the lady's focus will not waver and her trust is not earned lightly-especially not by the Malicious Mandeville. With Serena's sharp wit and Vincent's razor tongue, they cut through clue after clue. But how will they ever unite, with her chasing the elusive past and him always running from it?
