Heather Cynster grows tired of London's predictable ballrooms and their uninspiring suitors. She wants a true hero who will offer genuine excitement and romance. Against her better judgment, she ventures to a scandalous party where she hopes to find the passionate love she craves. Viscount Breckenridge ruins her evening by dragging her away from potential scandal. His interference backfires spectacularly when mysterious enemies kidnap Heather right from under his nose. They force her into a carriage and speed away from London with their captive. Breckenridge must abandon his usual rakish behavior and transform into the protector Heather never knew she needed. The chase takes them far from the safety of society's rules. Heather discovers that real adventure comes with genuine peril, not just social risk. Breckenridge finds himself fighting not only to save her life but to prove he can be the hero she has been seeking all along.
