As they work together to unravel the mysterious circumstances of the count’s marriage, their attraction grows—threatening Gilda’s freedom and Justin’s reputation.

Praise for this book
"Curtis delivers a wonderfully fresh romantic mystery that combines the arcane complications of medieval marriage customs, court intrigue, and a smart, witty heroine in a fast-paced tale that will delight readers with twists and surprises right up to the very last page. Gilda and Justin are well-matched both as lovers and as sleuths. They deserve an entire series." - Jayne Ann Krentz
