Sophia White is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful duke, one who is threatening the only family she's ever known, the people she works with at the notorious Tantalus Club, unless she marries a man of his choosing. She knows that her father is vindictive and has never loved her, so this preacher must be a truly awful man, but she is determined to save her friends. At the same time, she is determined to go into this truly hideous marriage with at least some good memories, so she accepts an invitation to the Duke of Greaves' holiday party.
Adam Baswich, the Duke of Greaves, is an incredibly proper man. His father had an incredibly notorious reputation and he has spent his entire life living it down. Knowing that being with Sophia White would only mar his reputation, he tries to resist her allure. But she lights up his entire house and has charmed his staff. How can he not fall in love? But there are so many obstacles, can they be overcome?
