London, 1814

Struggling to escape her past and make ends meet as a modiste, Katrina Sinclair hopes the daring new wardrobe she's designed for her childhood friend Julia—now a marchioness—will attract the business she desperately needs. But Julia's help comes at a price: Katrina must take her place at a house party. They look enough alike for the ruse to work...until Julia's handsome former fiancé arrives.

Leo Kincade has been tasked with catching a traitor who steals from house parties to fund Napoleon's armies. Three women are suspected—including Julia. But when Leo intercepts her at the party, he finds an impostor who stirs an attraction stronger than anything he felt for Julia.

The mysterious woman shares Leo's interest, even if she won't trust him with her true identity. He should expose her at once, but he's too tempted to play along and see where her deception—and their passion—will lead...

When Felix, Viscount Western, learns that his father’s shipping line is being used to smuggle ex-slaves into England, he determines to put a stop to the evil trade. Convinced that Saskia Eden is up to her beautiful neck in the business, he’s unprepared for the impact her fiercely independent spirit has on him.

Saskia, pitting her wits against those of her father in a desperate bid for survival, can’t prevent Felix from putting his life on the line to break the smuggling ring. Unaware if he will succeed, she becomes caught up in a glamorous house party hosted by his mother. Only then does she realize how hopeless her situation actually is. Even if Felix should survive, there can be no place in his life for the widowed daughter of a convicted smuggler.

Can there?
