Until fate, in all its cruel irony forces them into a tangled web of secrets, schemes and a dangerously undeniable attraction. As whispered rumors swirl through the ballrooms of London and the weight of their families' rivalry passes down on them Amalia and Nathaniel must decide : will they fight for their pride or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be?
