Description
In rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has learned to live with being overlooked—until her “oddity” becomes a sensation in London and draws the attention of the sinister Duke of Moreland, a collector willing to do anything to possess rare beauty. When Phyllida’s escape turns into a marriage of convenience, she finds an unlikely ally in Captain Arthur Heywood, a once-formidable hero now limited by injury and stripped of the life he knew. As art, secrets, and long-buried motives collide, their carefully arranged partnership is tested by suspense that tightens with every revelation. Blending romance with mystery and historical intrigue, this richly atmospheric novel explores the power of reputation, the cost of desire, and what it truly means to protect—and be protected—when danger comes dressed as opportunity.
