In London’s glittering Season, danger hides in the shadows… Lady Clementine Ravensmere refuses to live a life of idle luxury. Drawn to the plight of abused women, she steps beyond society’s boundaries—and straight into a world far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Lord William Beaufort thrives in that world. Ruthless when he must be, protective when it matters, he has no illusions about the darkness lurking beneath London’s polished surface. But when a violent threat begins circling closer, Clementine becomes a target—and William the only man standing between her and ruin. Saving her may cost him everything. Losing her may cost him even more.
