Emma Cooper is a young seamstress who is busy learning her trade when she is suddenly thrust into the high society, high-intrigue world of dukes, duchesses, and high-class snobbery.
Owen, the Duke of Leyton, is being pressured by his mother, the dowager countess, to marry her best friend's daughter, a woman Owen is sure will make him miserable. But, as a dutiful son, he is resigned to his fate until the night he meets a beautiful, flaming red-haired mystery woman who makes his heart beat wildly.
What will happen when sparks fly between the Duke and Emma? Will they fall in love? Will they be able to fight the forces that work to keep them apart? Will they find forever happiness?
