Once London’s reigning debutante, Lady Beatrice Wodehouse was destined for a brilliant future—until a devastating accident destroys her dreams. Branded “Lady Beastly” by cruel society gossip, she retreats to the countryside, where she creates a refuge for society’s outcasts and rebuilds her life in quiet anonymity. Yet one secret longing remains: she still dreams of passion—and the chance to be seen as she truly is.

Once London’s most notorious rake, Wickham Murray is determined to prove he is more than a careless Adonis. Now a powerful railway industrialist, he is on the brink of securing the greatest triumph of his career—if he can persuade one stubborn country landowner to sell her estate. But a chance encounter with a mysterious masked woman at a masquerade awakens his deepest desires and complicates his plans: for she is also the obstacle to his redemption.

As business rivals become secret lovers and hidden dangers close in, Bea and Wick must confront the truths they fear most about themselves—and each other. Yet when a deadly enemy strikes from the shadows, they must decide whether to protect their hearts…or risk everything for a love strong enough to transform them both.

"You get all the feels in all the right places when reading a Grace Callaway book... The love affair between Wick and Bea is beautiful (and scorching)." — Goodreads reviewer
