A chance-meeting of soulmates? Or is everything a lie?
Betrothed since birth to some stuffy earl she has never met, Lucy is torn between family duty and a longing for love and fun. Naturally, she determines to enjoy her last days of freedom – and her first Blackhaven ball – to the full. Especially when she encounters the unusual Tyler who makes her laugh and takes her on apparently pointless adventures in search of stray puppies, suspicious strangers, and an escaping highwayman.
In fact, Tyler also plays a risky game to change the world and find his own personal justice. Already in love, Lucy is happy to help.
And then the truth spoils everything.
Or does it?
