A treacherous forgery. A forbidden connection. A love that risks everything.
 
When a wave of counterfeit currency threatens England's stability, Lord Tristan Kingston is dispatched to uncover the source. A charming rogue who is used to winning, Lord Tristan's investigation draws him far from London's glittering ballrooms to a modest charity school in the East End — and into a clash of wits with the formidable Miss Eliza. ​
 
Fiercely devoted and sharp-witted, Miss Eliza is guarding secrets far more dangerous than her circumstances suggest. As the counterfeit trail leads directly to her door, she finds herself increasingly charmed by the mysterious Lord Tristan — even as her instincts warn her that he isn't all he seems. While Lord Tristan weaves himself into Miss Eliza's world to uncover the truth, the line between his mission and his feelings begins to blur.  

Standing on opposite sides of a criminal investigation, they must navigate a world of wary glances, reluctant trust, and a growing attraction neither can afford to indulge. ​ But danger is closing in. Loyalties fracture, and lives hang in the balance. The deeper Lord Tristan falls, the harder it becomes to choose between his duty to the Crown and his devotion to the woman who has become his heart's greatest desire. ​
