In a world governed by appearances and restraint, Roselle Ashworth has been taught that a woman's worth lies in her obedience.
Graceful, composed, and entirely controlled, she has never questioned the rules that define her life... until the night her family's most treasured heirloom is stolen.
The missing sapphire necklace is more than a symbol of legacy.
In the wrong hands, it is a threat.
Determined to recover it, Roselle enters the glittering chaos of the Season with a dangerous, carefully guarded purpose and a secret of her own that must never come to light.
But secrets have a way of recognizing one another.
Especially in the presence of Sebastian Wellesbury.
An artist who exists just beyond the boundaries of polite society, Sebastian sees what others overlook, and in Roselle, he begins to uncover truths she has spent a lifetime concealing.
What begins as quiet curiosity soon turns into something far more dangerous: stolen moments, unspoken understanding... and a longing that threatens to unravel everything she has ever been.
Because the deeper Roselle is drawn into the mystery of the stolen necklace, the closer she comes to a past that refuses to remain buried.
In a season of whispered scandals, hidden motives, and forbidden desire, Roselle must choose between the life she was raised to protect... and the one her heart is beginning to claim.
Before the truth chooses for her.
