A nobleman’s mysterious death at a society ball leads to false accusations and uncovers long-buried secrets…

After his brother's death, Nate Squires must shut down his thriving inn on Lake Windermere and leave the woman he loves to become the new Earl of Westerly. Alone in London, the life he’d grown to cherish seems lost.

Back in Westmorland, Bridget De Lacey is equally affected by Nate’s absence, and so she accepts an invitation to visit her friend, Jane Harley, in Mayfair. Nate is elated to resume his connection with Bridget, but things take a dark turn when a nobleman with close ties to him drops dead at a society ball. The death is ruled an accident, but not everyone agrees. Fingers are pointed at Nate, and he must disprove the rumors to protect his reputation and relationship with his son.

Bridget teams up with Nate for a tense investigation that turns harrowing. The worse things get, the closer they draw together. But their happy future hinges on a successful outcome. Will they solve the riddle of a nobleman’s death and triumph over evil to get their happily ever after?
