A scandalous masquerade, a missing heir, and a baroness who refuses to play by the rules
London, 1823 —
When widowed Baroness Lady Rose Stanford crashes a notorious masquerade in search of a titled husband, she doesn’t expect to kiss a mysterious stranger—or get pulled into a dangerous game of blackmail and murder.
Emerson Whitmore, a self-made merchant, wants nothing to do with the peerage until a cousin’s suspicious disappearance and a damning note thrust him into aristocratic intrigue.
Sparks fly and secrets unravel as Rose and Emerson join forces to uncover a killer, protect vulnerable young women, and navigate a society where appearances deceive and love may be the ultimate scandal.
