Lady Judith Ainsley was young but smart, when she learned of her father's devious schemes. Despite the pain of deception and the illusion of a loving father destroyed, Lady Judith devised safeguards for her protection and independence. She had help: a dear companion, a guardian angel, and a duke whom she could not decide whether to love or hate. Lady Judith took pride in her accomplishments, unaware they threatened to crumble. More secrets are uncovered when she stumbles upon a secret cache of ill-gotten gains and draws the vengeance of foreign villains. Will she choose independence over love? And will Lady Judith forsake her pride and accept help from her enemies? Or risk dying alone?

And if he does, will she want him after he reveals the truth?
