Description

London is a whirl of sophistication, but Rose can't help but still feel out of place. Then she meets Alexander Ross, a young Scottish duke with a sordid past - or so the rumours say. Rose knows better than to give her heart to an aristocrat with such a reputation, but it may be too late. Ada is engaged to a handsome man who shares her political passions and has promised to support her education, but she can't seem to stop longing for Ravi... Meanwhile, Sebastian worries for his former valet Oliver, who refuses to plead innocent to the murder charges against him - for a death caused by Sebastian himself.
