Stella Caldway’s return to London comes with some misgivings. Her last visit left her with bittersweet memories—some painful, some unforgettable. It was here she gave her heart to Viscount Theodore Beckworth… and nearly lost him forever.

Now, amidst the delights of the London Season—graceful garden parties, glittering balls, and high society intrigue—Stella is ready to embrace the future. But when a priceless necklace vanishes in plain sight during a lavish ball, she’s drawn into a mystery she can’t ignore. Driven by loyalty and a thirst for justice, Stella vows to uncover the truth—no matter how impossible the task may seem.

Beckworth, ever devoted, longs only to see Stella shine among the city’s finest. Yet the past refuses to stay quiet. The Crown’s spymaster, Hensley, once again seeks his help to identify a cunning new smuggler with ties to the infamous McDuff. The mission must remain secret, even from Stella.

In a city where reputations are everything and danger lurks in the unlikeliest places, trust becomes both a shield and a weapon. But one thing remains certain—in love and in life, Stella and Beckworth are strongest together. And when Stella is involved, even the best-laid plans rarely go as expected.
