Francesca Greentree had enjoyed her quiet life and content to live the rest of her days on the moors of Yorkshire.  She detests the loud and chaotic life of London and is determined to stay away from one of its most famous inhabitants, her birth mother, the notorious courtesan Madame Aphrodite.  Francesca’s most dreaded fear is that one day her most base desires will surface and she will become like her mother, which is something that Francesca is determined will never happen.  Until the day she meets Sebastian Thorne, and now her life will never be the same.

Accepting an assignment by Madame Aphrodite, Sebastian Thorne sets out for Yorkshire, where he is to meet with someone to gather information.  And hopefully find the person who kidnapped Aphrodite’s daughters twenty-four years ago.  The meeting place was to be along the moors, but his guide has tricked him and now he is sinking, slowly into the mired muck.  Only a miracle will save him.

Sebastian’s miracle comes in the form of Francesca Greentree, the daughter of Aphrodite herself.  Pulling Sebastian from the moors, Francesca discovers that she is her mother’s daughter after all when he stirs feelings in her that she had long suppressed.  What does he want?  Why is he out on the moors to begin with?
