A stolen heirloom. A dangerous attraction. A love that defies fate.
Princess Clarissa has spent her life under the watchful eyes of her sisters. Now, she has one mission: recover her third of the ancient necklace stolen from her family, then disappear. No distractions. No complications.
Lord Anthony Thorpe is dashing, relentless, and entirely too perceptive. A single dance should have been harmless, but Clarissa never expected his pursuit… or the spark between them.
Anthony has secrets of his own. He has duties and responsibilities and can't afford to be captivated by the enigmatic princess. But when her search for the necklace collides with his own mission, desire ignites and danger looms.
From glittering ballrooms to the shadows of London’s docks, Clarissa and Anthony must make an impossible choice: honor or love? Or can they defy fate and have both?
