That's why he cannot comprehend why innocent Miss Katrina Hartford has disguised herself as Kitty Hartley, taking a position as a maid at his estate. When he attempts to ferret out her secret, he finds her a willing servant, indeed. No one knows scathing social columnist Alistair Allenby is Kitty's nom de plume-or that she's writing an article to expose Bram. But as she submits to his torturous toys, it's Kitty who is exposed, indulging her unspoken desires to find true freedom, power...and love.
