If it hadn't been for the haunted woods, Lily Teagarden would never have spoken to her neighbor, Hal, Viscount Roxham. Known to the fashionable world as Lord Perfect, to Lily he's a man she can never respect… and the careless rogue who broke her fledgling heart. But sightings of eerie lights among his trees are causing her trouble, and she needs his help. Intrigued by this prim beauty who was once an ugly duckling, Hal agrees to investigate, though hardly has he begun when she mysteriously undermines his efforts. The mischief she throws in his path awakens his sleeping heart, just as his touch stirs a passion she can't accept. But Hal is the last man to whom Lily would surrender, and it's going to take everything he's got to win her love.
