The death of a man he never met has Dominic Antrucha assuming a title and position he never even knew existed. Dozens of "fine", young ladies flaunt themselves at him in hopes of sharing the wealth and status he now possesses, but Dominic has sworn off love since his heart was broken. Now, with all his dreams and plans shattered, he must come to terms with this new life. There's a catch, though. Not only did this change demolish his simple plans for his future, it threw him into a mess of intrigue and danger that involves far too many of his close friends and newly acquainted relatives. And at the heart of it is the woman who broke his heart and betrayed him-the only person he's ever come to hate. Will he actually be able to survive this mess long enough to pull himself back together and rise above the deceit of the society he's entered? Can he unlock the secrets that broke his heart? Most important of all, will he choose to trust the ones who have betrayed him before it's too late?
