However, his heart has grown so cold and hard over the years, can Grace ever love him back?

Grace Montford, beautiful daughter of a viscount, was expected to make a brilliant debut in the upcoming Season.

She and Deklan Quinton, the Crown's top agent, have one week to find it or else she will be turned over to those foreign agents. She has never needed so many miracles in her life. One to find the crown, another to return it safely, and a third to restore her good name. Perhaps the fourth miracle is the most difficult of all. Deklan is sleek, powerful, and dangerous as a jungle cat.

She has fallen desperately in love with him, but how can he ever fall in love with her?
