Disowned by her oil tycoon father, debutante Rosamund Burnell is in a fix.
With limited funds, and a long way from Texas, the answer seems obvious.
Pretend she's still a wealthy catch, to ensnare an eligible English bachelor.
Meeting the Duke of Studborne, it seems her prayers have been answered.
But the Duke's motives for courting her are not what they seem, and Rosamund is caught in a trap.
Are the mysterious disappearances at Studborne Abbey mere coincidence?
Or does something wicked lurk within the ancient monastic walls?
Rosamund must uncover the truth, and only one person in the abbey can help her.
The Duke's annoyingly principled, utterly penniless, and far-too-gallant nephew...
