"In a world where every smile is a performance, he is the only truth she never expected to find."
Lady Eleanor Whitmore is everything the ton adores-graceful, flawless, destined for a perfect love match.
Until one reckless moment changes her fate.
A hidden corridor. A whispered secret. A truth powerful enough to destroy lives.
Suddenly, Eleanor's carefully crafted world begins to unravel, and the future she was promised slips through her fingers. With danger closing in and no one she can trust, she is forced into the arms of the one man society warns her to fear.
Alexander Blackwood, the Duke of Ravenshire.
Cold. Distant. Unforgiving.
And yet... when the world turns against her, he is the only one who doesn't look away.
What begins as a reluctant alliance soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because beneath his icy exterior lies a man who watches her too closely, protects her too fiercely... and understands her in ways no one ever has.
But love, in a world like theirs, is never simple.
Because falling for her was never part of the plan...
-but letting her go might be impossible.
