Alabeth leaves London as the subject of scandalous gossip, believing her life with the notorious rake Robert Manvers is behind her.

On her return, Alabeth learns that Jillian is already enamored with Piers Castleton, the same seducer who has ruined many relationships.
Alabeth’s world is further complicated when she encounters Count Adam Zaleski, a striking resemblance to her late husband, whose magnetism captivates the elite of London. Now Alabeth must confront the man she despises, battle her own lingering love, and protect her sister from falling into the same destructive pattern.
