Lady Honora 'Nora' Baxter has been caught...

And now ... she's being blackmailed to do something she really doesn't want to do.

Actually ... it's something Nora really, really wants to do, but knows she shouldn't.

Kiss the Viscount of Coalwater!

Where will one kiss lead?

Marriage.

With Nora's daughter, they become a family of three.

But... if finding happily ever after was all they had to worry about, life would be too easy.

By day, Garrick Amdon plays the mute gentleman.

But by night, his actions take on a sinister quality that puts fear in the blood of even the worst criminals.

The Ton think him a rake.

They got that right and, once married, he becomes Nora's exclusively.

But when a dark villain closes in on their new family, Garrick is forced to show his true self.

Can Nora handle the truth of who Garrick truly is?

How will Garrick handle Nora's own secret?
