In a brilliant social season, Edwardian London's dizzying whirl had its share of surprises. The latest was Kitty Harrison, once achingly poor, suddenly an heiress--and now, thanks to her determined mother, about to become a Baroness. From the moment Kitty set eyes on Lord Chesworth, she thought him the most exciting man she had ever seen. But she was young, innocent, bedazzled. How could she question the motives of the dashing bachelor who swore he loved her even as he courted the scandalously beautiful Mrs. Jackson? All too soon Kitty's dream of marriage became a nightmare. Someone was trying to kill her. Adrift in a sea of deception, she knew that to save her life and win the only man she had ever loved, she would have to learn to play the game her way: smarter... better... forever.
