Young Shelley Bray had fallen desperately in love with Esmond Torrington, the world-famous symphony conductor. She had tried to keep her passion a private thing—to remain merely the governess of Esmond’s children. But someone else had learned her secret—someone who hated her. Someone jealous enough to destroy her. Shelley did not fear for herself. But now Esmond’s destiny had become entwined with hers. She knew she must search alone through the dark shadows of his past. She did not know what she would find. She only knew that she had to save him—no matter what the cost to her.
