Secrets and lies, scandal and deception - but can love still triumph?
Amelie Milverton is fleeing her betrothal to a vicious, degenerate man. Disguised as a maidservant, she climbs out of her bedroom window, but there's a problem...
Gareth Denville, wrongly accused of cheating at cards and driven from the city by scandal, has returned to London, but that's a mistake ...
Through the dawn mist, Gareth spies Amelie and on a whim offers to help. Escaping together, the attraction between them builds, but both have secrets they cannot tell and their love stays unspoken. Until Amelie faces the most extreme danger and the time for pretence is over.
But is it too late?
