Lady Eliza Burke is tired of living under the rule of a tyrannical mother. She'll do anything to escape, even marry a man she doesn't know—and a man her mother despises. Eliza doesn't believe herself destined for love. Lord Bennington doesn't believe he's destined for happiness. Both are about to be tested by a scandal that could tear them apart forever.
