Dubbed "The Paragon of The Ton," Lady Amy Cheltenham appears to have everything a young lady of consequence could wish for - a loving family, cool English beauty, and a place in society to be envied. However, the one thing she lacks is the very thing she desires most - the heart of the only man she has ever loved. The son of a traitor, Dr. Gibson Blackwell has somehow managed to build a respectable life and a reputation for himself, even after the loss of his family's title. Unfortunately, he has also done the one thing that he knows he should not - fall in love with a woman he can never hope to have. At least not without creating a scandal that is far beyond anything that London has ever known. Is love enough to conquer all that lies between Amy and Gibson, or are they destined to remain apart forever, nurturing a love that is far beyond scandalous?
