A chance meeting changed everything.
Damian Wycliff, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Blackbeck—and notorious rogue—loathes most people. With a heart as dark as his Mediterranean looks, his cynical view of the world is challenged when a woman comes to his aid in a dark alley. In his world, kindness is a rare quality. Was that why he made the rash oath, a sworn promise to play the knight errant should she ever need assistance?

The lady calls in the debt.
Having spent three years wondering what happened to his mysterious saviour, Damian is horrified to discover the angel who saved his life is none other than the scandalous Scarlet Widow—a lady he should despise along with the other fake people who hide behind masks. So why can he not shake the memory of the sweet woman whose benevolence touched his heart? Why is he desperate to discover if she still exists beneath the daring disguise?

A promise never forgotten.
Someone wants Scarlett Steele dead. After surviving the numerous attempts made on her life, she no longer knows who to trust. But one man made a vow—a solemn promise to come to her aid. So when she seeks the help of the devilishly handsome Damian Wycliff, it soon becomes apparent that she isn’t the only one hiding behind a façade.
Does Wycliff possess the means to save her if the villain strikes again?
Will lowering their guards give them both a chance of finding true love?

A great many chapters in this book were devoted to hints, double talk, secrecy, and misleading each of the main characters in regards to what was truly going on. There wasn't really any romance or chemistry even hinted at between the Hero and Heroine for so long that it soon became boring. There were too many characters who could be potential villains that the storyline was almost completely muddled with them. It left the reader momentarily confused, wondering if there were, in fact, more than one villain involved. There was almost too much drama and intrigue in the story. In fact, there was so much drama that it overpowered any hint of romance for the main characters. It turned the book from the genre of romance to intrigue, leaving the reader to wonder why the book was in the category of a romance novel at all. The book was definitely long-winded and drawn out. The way the story was written, it truly did not need 22 chapters to reveal all its hidden secrets. The reader already knew who was the villain and why by chapter 16. However, with all that said, it wasn't too bad of a book. It clearly had everything a romance novel should, albeit not enough romance and chemistry between the main characters. It did provide a bit more of a mystery than romance, that's for certain. Possibly wrongfully categorized, but good nonetheless. Although it was good, it was not worthy of being a Keeper for the Shelves.
