When a mysterious traveller arrives at Longbourn seeking shelter, the Bennets welcome him in exchange for much-needed payment. Introducing himself as Mr. Alexander Rayne, the guest seems nothing more than a gentleman passing through-until he hears Mary play.

He is, in truth, the Duke of Ravensworth, working undercover to root out a dangerous French spy hiding in the quiet countryside. As Alexander grows closer to Mary, her sharp mind and keen observation become an unexpected asset in his investigation.
