About this book

When a mysterious beauty captivates London's high society, she catches the attention of a dangerously charismatic marquis who's determined to uncover everything she's hiding. Their chemistry is absolutely electric—all smoldering glances and perfectly timed confrontations that crackle with tension—but Christina refuses to let passion override her carefully guarded secrets. As Lyon pursues her with the intensity of a man who always gets what he wants, Christina must wrestle with an impossible choice: surrender her heart or protect the truth that could change everything. This is pure Garwood magic—a sweeping romance brimming with wit, passion, and the delicious push-and-pull of two strong-willed people fighting against their growing connection.

Sultry Regency-era tension meets modern sensuality—think moody orchestral strings layered with dark indie and soul. Smoldering chemistry, forbidden desire, and the electric pull of two people fighting what they both want. Gothic romance with slow-burn intensity.
