Desperate to save her family's estate, a resourceful woman cuts her hair and assumes her twin brother's identity—only to find herself under the guardianship of a dangerously charming rake who's determined to mentor the "boy" in the ways of London's most decadent pleasures. As Adam Savage takes on his unexpected charge, neither realizes the delicious secret simmering beneath the surface, waiting to ignite in a moment neither of them can control. It's a high-stakes game of deception and desire where one passionate night threatens to unravel everything, and love might be the most dangerous adventure of all.
Reading soundtrack
Regency-era tension wrapped in modern sensuality—think lush string arrangements, smoky jazz vocals, and indie rock with forbidden edge. Sultry, slow-building desire meets aristocratic intrigue. Artists like Florence + The Machine, Hozier, and Cigarettes After Sex capture this dangerous dance of deception and longing.
