Besieged with requests by social lionesses wanting to be considered au courant, Rowena Morely's talent for hypnotism was dazzling the town. Lord Barlow, skeptical of her abilities, watched with growing alarm as both his mother and young ward spent entirely too much time with the green-eyed charlatan.

Of course, it was all a trick, but the unsuspecting Barlow quickly discovered her spell was wreaking havoc on his mind and heart. For the woman who had ensnared him totally was the bewitching Rowena herself!
