What is it about?
Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived almost her entire life in solitude, yearning for love and companionship. When a famous artist convinces her to pose for a scandalous portrait, she agrees, only to be betrayed when the painting is made public. Ruined and disgraced, Lily can only turn to her guardian, the Duke of Warnick, an imposing Scot who despises the English aristocracy.
Warnick has inherited a dukedom he does not want, and his only goal is to marry off his ward as soon as possible to return to his quiet life in Scotland. But Lily refuses to marry without love, and the duke discovers that the attraction he feels for her is much more dangerous than he imagined. Between duty and desire, both will have to decide if they are willing to risk everything for a love that seems impossible.
