Everyone believes Beckworth, the Viscount of Waverly, to be a man with no regrets because he hides the pain of the man he once was while trying to win his father's favor. Stella Caldway sees the man behind the mask-a loyal man who would drop anything to help a friend in need. His only fault lay in seeking acceptance from a man who didn't possess the ability to give it. When he's taken, Stella is gripped with guilt, and she'll do whatever it takes to find him and bring him home. But Gemini's game plan takes an unexpected twist. Teams from two different worlds come together to thwart her end game in their last hope to put the secrets of The Book of Stones to rest-once and for all. And when that's done, Stella and Beckworth face a difficult decision. Will time prove an obstacle to their love?
