Young Maggie Brown traveled to a seaside resort, hoping to forget the pain of her mother's recent death. She never imagined her bitter-sweet sojourn would land her in a mysterious stranger's magical embrace, or that he would leave her with only memories. But then, by chance, she was reunited with the man she so adored - one who had given her his heart, but not his name.
To escape family pressures, the Marquis of Belmont disguised himself as a commoner for a seaside holiday - and lost his heart to a woman he could never marry. And yet, determined to let no other man have her, he swept her into a passionate love that soon led to heartbreak. Now, though he feared it might be too late, he vowed to convince Maggie that he would gladly trade his legacy for a lifetime in her arms.
