For nearly a decade, Lucy Jones has lived a quiet, respectable life built on a carefully guarded lie. The death of her employer threatens to destroy it all.
As companion to the formidable Lady Helena Darrington, Lucy has finally found the respectability she believed she'd lost forever. But when Lady Helena dies, her final act is to place a seemingly ordinary object into Lucy's keeping—a burden she does not understand, but one she cannot refuse.
When someone begins hunting Lucy for reasons she cannot fathom, it raises an unsettling question. Was Lady Helena's death truly from natural causes... or was it murder?
Lady Helena's nephew, Viscount Gideon Archer, arrives determined to uncover the truth behind his aunt's death and the increasingly desperate attempts on Lucy's life. Although no strangers to one another, circumstance has never allowed them to become more than passing acquaintances. But as every answer uncovers another secret and every revelation carries deadly consequences, Gideon realizes the quiet strength and unwavering courage he had always sensed in Lucy is something he can no longer ignore... and something he cannot resist.
To uncover the truth behind Lady Helena's murder—and to end the danger to Lucy once and for all—the secrets she has spent a decade guarding must finally be surrendered. But in admitting the painful truth of her past, will Lucy lose the future she has only just begun to imagine... a future with Gideon?
