Reputation is everything. For the Yarnton family, one secret could destroy it all. James Massey, Marquess of Avery, is no stranger to his mother’s icy contempt.

His father, Leonard Massey, Duke of Yarnton, knows those answers all too well—a secret so dangerous that revealing it could shatter their lives forever. Catherine Massey, Duchess of Yarnton, burns with resentment. Behind her elegant façade lies the ruthless determination to see her husband and son disgraced, even if it costs her everything. As her schemes gather momentum, the fragile threads of the Yarnton family’s reputation begin to unravel. Will the Yarntons’ secrets destroy them, or will they find redemption in the face of scandal?

The truth can set you free—or shatter everything you hold dear. Miss Emily Wallis has long sought solace in her books, retreating from the shame cast upon her family. Yet her world is turned upside down when she learns the shocking truth: she is the daughter of a duke, and Agnes Jones—the woman she has always regarded as an aunt—is in fact her mother. Viscount Robert Wilding, burdened by the scars of war and the loss of his brothers, finds himself at odds with the expectations of society. Drawn to Emily’s wit and quiet grace, he struggles with his duty to uphold the conventions of rank, knowing that a governess is an unacceptable match for a man of his station. As Emily confronts the schemes of her vengeful adoptive mother, and the truth of her parentage threatens to unravel all, she and Robert must navigate the treacherous waters of duty, reputation and forbidden love.

Edmund Ainscough, Earl of Chertsey, walks a delicate line between society’s veneer and its darkest corners. Charged with uncovering traitors, he finds an unlikely ally in Clara.

Loyalty to the Crown leaves no room for love—or so he thought. The Earl of Grinstead, Henry Howarth, is a man of secrets. Haunted by a past he cannot forget, he has built a life in the shadows, where loyalty to the Crown demands every ounce of his focus and leaves no room for sentiment. Miss Millicent Holland has spent years running from her past, from society, and from the man who seeks to destroy her. Yet when she crosses paths with the brooding Earl, her quiet world is upended in ways she could never foresee. Unknowingly, Henry’s mission sets a dangerous chain of events in motion, putting Millicent squarely in the sights of Joshua Shambles, a man driven by vengeance.
