About
For readers of Regency romance by Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Madeline Hunter, New York Times
bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries debuts a brand new series in trade paperback in which a lord, detained
in France during the Napoleonic war, returns home to find he's inherited a dukedom and vows to make a match
for his deceased mentor's daughter.
Intriguing twists and sparkling wit entwine in this stunning new historical romance from the New York Times
bestselling Sabrina Jeffries, as a once-exiled patriot returns home to a changed world. . .
Napoleon's war has ended, and English captives detained for years in a French fortress are finally released.
Returning to a London he no longer recognizes, and facing astonishing changes in his own family, Lord
Jonathan Leighton learns he has inherited a dukedom. But the new nobleman carries the guilt of having
wronged his late mentor. Now, he vows to fulfill his promise to find a suitable match for the man's daughter,
Victoria-even if it takes offering a nonexistent dowry to spark her interest in matrimony . . .
Sharp-witted Victoria would just as soon sculpt the Greek god who has come to take charge of her future. In
fact, she has her sights set on founding a school for women artists. As Jonathan matches wits with the talented
beauty, revelations from his past-and their connection to her father's demise-threaten to unveil both of their
closely held secrets and thrust them into a danger they can only escape together.
