In the glittering, cutthroat world of the London ton, the Havisham name is synonymous with fading elegance and impending ruin.

When their family's debts become too dire to ignore, Elara is forced into a marriage of convenience with the one man the ton fears and admires in equal measure: Gabriel, the Duke of Ashbourne.
