A husband and wife must navigate society scandals and international espionage in this thrilling Regency romance.

In the glittering world of Regency London, where gossip is exchanged—and reputations ruined—with the tilt of a fan, Mélanie Fraser is the perfect wife. Devoted to her husband, Charles, the grandson of a duke, she is acknowledged as society’s most charming hostess. But just as the elegant façade of Regency London hides a dark side, Mélanie is not what she seems. As a former spy during the Napoleonic Wars, she has a secret that could destroy her perfect jewel-box life forever . . .

To keep her secret hidden, she must find an exquisite heirloom ring surrounded by legend and power. The search will pull Mélanie and Charles into a gritty underworld of gin-soaked brothels, elegant gaming hells, and debtors’ prisons. In this maze of intrigue, deception is second nature and betrayal can come far too easily . . .
