In a glittering world of London ballrooms, old money, and dangerous secrets, Elizabeth Seton has learned to trust her own instincts more than any man’s promises.Practical, intelligent, and determined to keep her footing in a society that was never built for women like her, she has little patience for aristocratic charm.
Then one reckless moment changes everything.
After overhearing a whispered conversation that hints at blackmail, corruption, and a shadowy force working behind the scenes, Elizabeth finds herself caught in the orbit of Alistair St. James, the Duke of Blackwood — a man as controlled and formidable as he is dangerously compelling.Blackwood has his own reasons for moving through the shadows, and the more Elizabeth resists him, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the pull between them.
As suspicion deepens and hidden loyalties begin to shift, Elizabeth is drawn into a world where power is rarely what it seems, trust can be weaponized, and desire may prove every bit as perilous as the secrets they are chasing.
