Lady Rebecca Eversley is a ruined woman.  When she is raped by the Earl of Newthorpe, her mother wants her to go to the family estate in the country.  Becky refuses, and is determined to not get the rumors going around get the better of her.  She is not to blame for what happened, but he has taken something from her she can not ever get back.  Her virginity.When Lord Daniel Ramsey finds out what happened to her, he sets out to protect her.  Even after what has happened to her, she is still very innocent.  She is also terrified of being intimate with a man.  After Daniel asks for her hand, she assumes he will leave her alone and take mistresses instead.  Little does she know that he has plans of his own.  He has no intention of taking a mistress.  Daniel knows that he has to go slow and patient for Becky to trust him.When Newthrope is found dead on her wedding day, she's relieved, but is also wondering who killed him.  She knows her family would do the killing themselves after what happened, especially her brother James.  On the trip to Daniel's family home in Scotland, she's terrified about being a lone with him. With extreme patience, Daniel shows her that not all men force themselves on women.  That there are men who are loving and kind.The one thing that did disappoint me was there was nothing about them finally coming together as a married couple.  There was a lot of build up to it, but when the time came, it was completely skipped over.  Other then that, I really loved this book! Rebecca and Daniel had chemistry right from the beginning, and he made it his mission to be her protector right from the start.Soon, Daniel and Rebecca realize their family is at risk.  Someone in Newthorpe's family believes they are responsible for his death and wants revenge.I loved Daniel!  He really surprised me, and I loved when that happens.  Yes, he was a player, but also knew once he was married, there would be no other woman for him.  His wife was it for him.  His patience and understanding where Rebecca's fears were seemed to be limitless.  Everytime she told him to get a mistress and leave her be, he stuck to his guns and continued to be make her trust him.
