Though Genevieve expects a loveless union, Myles’s warmth and charm quickly kindle a passionate connection. Together they uncover the plot that threatened her life and question whether duty or love should drive their relationship.
Set against the social customs and expectations of Regency England, the novel blends romance with a critique of aristocratic marriage alliances, exploring themes of reputation, loyalty, and the power of genuine affection.
