The Earl of Devonwood usually resents his 'gift of touch," which presses a glimpse into the future on him, whether he seeks it or not. But when he finds a lovely American miss sketching the nude statue in his garden and is given a Sending that shows her in his arms for a searing kiss, he thinks better of his gift. He wants to believe that he's seducing Miss Emmaline Farnsworth out of protectiveness for his young brother. After all, if his brother is convinced that the tantalizing professor's daughter is unworthy of his trust, perhaps Teddy will lose all interest in such an inappropriate choice for his station.
