Eighteen-year-old Duke Alexis Hearst is many things; heir to his father's legacy, fiance of the beautiful Duchess Gracelyn, and the bearer of all the world's eyes. At least, that's what it feels like to him. If the crushing expectations of his nobility aren't enough, Alex must also harbor a deadly secret. Despite his arranged marriage to the Duchess, he is in love with someone else- Lord Lucas of Gurdinn.
Keeping secrets from everyone he knows (including himself), Alex's lies catch up to him in a catastrophic fallout that leaves him more uncertain about his future than ever before. And the eyes of the world? They simply stand by to watch as his entire life collapses into irreparable ruins. (Of course, one must ask the question; isn't it better that way?)
