Evelyn wants nothing to do with this life, eager to return home, until a ​fateful decision throws her into the path of one of societies most daring rakes, Nathanial Blackmore, the Duke of Winchester.

Can they escape the death sentence that hangs above them? Or is Evelyn more in danger of losing her heart, than her head?
