A hotbed of intrigue and deception cannot stop the second debonair bachelor of the Bastion Club from finding his true love.
The Season has yet to begin, and Anthony Blake, Viscount Torrington, is already bored by the young ladies on offer . . . until one evening, when he stumbles across Alicia Carrington standing over a dead body with a bloody knife in her hand.
Every instinct tells him she is innocent, but what is the secret she hides? It is more than honour that compels him to protect her and to do everything in his seductive power to make her his.
