At eighteen, Charlotte Page made a life-altering mistake. She wronged a man in an impulsive act that she came to deeply regret, though it led to her present life as Mrs. Charlotte Harris, owner of Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies. Unbeknownst to her, that man is now her anonymous benefactor, the mysterious "Cousin Michael." His masquerade began as preparation for a devastating revenge, but soon became a labor of love.

Now Charlotte desperately needs his help. Can he save her from disaster without revealing the ugly secret behind his charade? Or will the mistakes of both their pasts tear them apart forever?

Filled with passion, romance, and lovable heroines, the School for Heiresses series proves that Sabrina Jeffries is a "grand mistress of storytelling" (Romantic Times).
