So when Thomas Chesterton offered his sister - and her fortune - to him in repayment of a gaming debt, Seabrooke thought his problems were over. Unfortunately, his betrothed, Miss Frederica Chesterton, was not one to go meekly to her fate.

In desperation, Frederica infiltrated Lord Seabrooke's household, posing as an assistant housekeeper. While there, she unearthed two disturbing discoveries. Lord Seabrooke was guarding a secret. And Frederica was close to losing her heart in spite of it!
