When Audrianna Kelmsleigh reads an advertisement from the enigmatic Domino asking a man to meet at the Two Swords Coaching Inn in Brighton, she sees a chance to clear her dead father's name.

The encounter turns dangerous when Audrianna’s gun misfires, causing a scandal that threatens her future. The only way to escape embarrassment is an arranged marriage of convenience. Audrianna and Sebastian, both headstrong and passionate, find themselves bound together. While Sebastian seduces her with the allure of erotic desire, Audrianna remains determined to exonerate her father, even if it means risking her life, her marriage, and her heart.
