Lady Cora Winfield's life has always gone according to plan--her mother's plan. So when she meets the dark Duke of Blackdell, Cora is fascinated. Knowing his dangerous reputation, Cora's mother flatly forbids the match, and the duke decides to take matters into his own hands. Kidnapped and facing a scandal, Lady Cora must now decide whether love will be her downfall or the beginning of a new plan, one she never dreamed possible. Set in the stormy summer of 1816, this Regency romance is a retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone.
