Raised as a gentleman’s daughter, Lorna Gordon is forced to accept a position as an upstairs maid at Blackhall Castle when her father dies. At a fancy‑dress ball, she disguises herself as Marie Antoinette and courts Alex Russell, the Duke of Kinross, in an illicit tryst that leaves scandalous consequences. Months later, the Duke encounters Lorna again and discovers she is far from the schemer he imagined: fiercely independent and resourceful, she is the only woman capable of piercing his defenses. When danger closes in, Alex must prove he is not only a lover of her fantasies but the man who will fight to protect her.
