In the glittering ballrooms and shadowed drawing rooms of Regency England, Lady Isabella Harrington finds herself at the center of a dangerous game. When a powerful suitor declares their engagement without her consent, Isabella is thrust into scandal—and forced to navigate the delicate rules of society, where appearances are everything and secrets hold the greatest power.
But she is not alone.
William Crawford, a man with a shadowed past and a vow to protect, returns to London determined to stop the rise of a charming manipulator whose ambitions threaten more than Isabella’s reputation. As alliances form and masks begin to slip, Isabella and William must decide how much they’re willing to risk—not just for justice, but for each other.
A story of whispered conspiracies, forbidden love, and one woman’s fight to choose her own fate, this is a tale where every glance is a weapon, every waltz a wager—and love may be the most dangerous game of all.
