Influenced by her late father's radical ideals, Lady Marisa Berrington-Crecy sets out to write a daring, scandalous exposé of Edwardian society - one that will lay bare its cruelty and hypocrisy. To gather material, she adopts the guise of Miss Mitton and infiltrates Vox Castle, the home of the infamous Duke of Milverley, a notorious widower noted for enjoying the favours of married women. But what begins as a search for gossip, soon reveals something deeper: A neglected, misunderstood child. A guarded Duke concealing painful secrets. And a world where truth is far more complicated than scandal. When her manuscript is discovered and the child she has come to love is suddenly abducted, Marisa is thrust into a desperate race against time. Forced to confront the consequences of her deception, she must rely on her courage and wit to set things right, and perhaps even win the forgiveness of the very man she once vowed to destroy. In this sweeping tale of redemption and second chances, Marisa will learn that exposing others may come at a cost - and that true happiness lies not in scandal, but in compassion and love.
