Let bestselling author Liz Carlyle sweep you away to Regency England and into the lives of the outrageous Rutledge family, where scandal is served up like a soup course and dangerous secrets abound.

Sometimes the workings of the mind are as dangerous as those of the heart. And soon, danger is truly everywhere...
