The book

Abigail Clarkson's world crumbles the night her parents are brutally murdered in what appears to be a simple robbery. But when she begins to investigate her father's affairs, she uncovers hidden secrets, dangerous alliances, and a truth someone is determined to bury.
At that moment, Lord Alexander Crawford, an aristocrat as enigmatic as he is determined, enters her life, and his intervention seems far from accidental.
Forced to rely on each other to survive, Abigail and Alexander are drawn into a web of lies and threats that leads them closer to the truth. But amid danger, mistrust, and uncertainty, an unexpected feeling begins to grow. In a world where no one is who they seem, love may become their only hope.
