So it most certainly was for the best when their plans to elope went hopelessly awry. Even after a seven-year separation, Victoria--now a governess--still leaves Robert breathless. But how could he ever again trust the raven-haired deceiver who had shattered his soul? And Victoria could never give her heart a second time to the cad who so callously trampled on it the first.
