Leorah Langdon has no patience for Regency society's shallow hypocrisy and unnecessary rules, especially for women.

Can the culprit be brought to justice? Strong-willed Leorah and duty-driven Withinghall will have to work together if they have any hope of saving her reputation, his political career--and his life.
