He hides a scandal that could destroy him.

She's been sent to uncover every lie he's built his life upon.

When Lady Catriona Whitmore arrives at the crumbling Greymount Estate, she expects financial chaos—not the dangerously charming Duke who greets her with secrets behind his smirk. Nathaniel, Duke of Wessex, is the picture of aristocratic elegance... and hidden ruin. Tasked with inspecting the estate, Catriona soon finds herself caught in a storm of tension, attraction, and suspicion.

Their verbal sparring ignites something deeper. But behind the ballroom dances and long-held glances lies a truth more ruinous than debt—a truth the Duke will do anything to keep buried.

As Greymount's walls begin to crumble, so do the barriers between them. Catriona must decide what's more dangerous: the secrets Nathaniel hides, or the desire threatening to undo her.

But falling for a man with a false name and a broken legacy may cost her everything.

Can love survive the weight of a legacy built on lies?

Or will the truth tear them apart before they've had a chance to begin?
