When she reads about an illicit house party hosted by the Duke of Argyle, she finds the solution to two of her problems—boredom and being consistently overlooked by the duke. Hopefully, with her attendance at this house party, she will finally gain his notice. When she succeeds, it doesn’t go quite as she’d hoped. But determination runs strong in her family, and she will stop at nothing to gain his loyalty—and his love. Cortland Beaumont, the Duke of Argyle, is a loyal member of the Wayward Duke’s Alliance. When Lady Genevieve stumbles into Cortland’s manor after stealing her grandfather’s invitation, coincidentally, the founder of the alliance, Cortland fears that his membership will be revoked if her reputation is ruined. Thus, he approaches the lady with a proposal, which she firmly rejects. A game of cat and mouse ensues, and although Cortland tells himself he’s not chasing after Lady Genevieve because he’s infatuated with her, his heart soon convinces him otherwise.

Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear—permanently—and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of "murder" to keep Abigail safe. Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it's his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if only he can convince her his love is real.
