This story was okay, but it bugged me that Joshua was being so patronizing to Maggie, telling her she was a good person even if she was a prostitute, instead of believing in her enough to believe that she wasn't one in the first place.

Young Lady Damaris FitzHubert possessed beauty, fortune, and impeccable lineage. But that didn't seem to do her any good where the Duke of Camber was concerned. The man she had adored from afar since childhood had no interest whatsoever in the season's new crop of debutantes. His preference ran toward the demimonde, the Cyprians, the women of easy virtue whose company could be had-or dispensed with-for the price of a pearl choker or a diamond brooch. Damaris, however, was not about to give up. Not even if she had to attend the notorious Cyprian's Ball itself... Camber was caught of guard by the mysterious new Cyprian. Not only was she hauntingly lovely, but actually had the gall to turn down his very generous offer for her favors in no uncertain terms. What game was this enticing wanton playing? She would soon discover that she had chosen the wrong man to fence with. For he was expert duelist and he always won...

A very sensual book that has no problem holding ones attentiion!

From the back of the book:

Jane Doe wasn't just another patient. And in all his years of training, no one had touched Joshua Martane like the fragile young woman who had been brought to the psychiatric ward five months earlier. Suspected prostitute. Brutalized victim of a serial murderer. Mystery surrounded who she was -- and who she wasn't. But one thing was certain. Joshua was completely entranced with the amnesiac woman with the huge blue eyes whom he called Maggie. He knew therapists shouldn't get involved with their patients. But Maggie was already much more than a patient. And whatever her secrets were, he was going to have to help unlock them.

I meant to order the book with the same title by Georigina Devon but somehow got this one instead. I'm glad I did. It was one of those books that get you right from the start. You've got alittle bit of everything with this book: the mystery behind Maggie's past, the romance between Joshua and Maggie, the man who is still trying to murder Maggie. Throw in Joshua's two friends, Sam the cop and Skeeter the artist, and you've got quite the interesting story.
