      Londres, Régence. Susanna, en chair et en os ? Impossible ! Et pourtant. James Devlin, stupéfait, doit se rendre à l'évidence : c'est bien sa première épouse qui rit et danse avec insouciance au bal le plus prisé de la saison, et qui fait mine de ne pas le reconnaître ! Comment Susanna ose-t-elle réapparaître ainsi comme si de rien n'était, après avoir disparu sans laisser de traces, neuf ans plus tôt, au lendemain de leur nuit de noce ? Et comment peut-elle croire que se présenter sous un faux nom suffirait à le tromper, lui ? Alors que la colère le submerge avec la même force qu'autrefois, James se jure que Susanna ne quittera pas ces lieux sans lui avoir donné l'explication qu'il attend depuis neuf ans. Ni sans lui avoir avoué ce qu'elle fait aujourd'hui au bras de l'un des célibataires les plus en vue de Londres. Car même s'il refuse de se l'avouer, il ne peut supporter l'idée que Susanna soit à un autre homme que lui.
