Historical fiction writer, Vivienne Dupree, is hoping to unravel the mystery of her WWII soldier, great-grandfather's doomed love affair with the lovely Lady Harmony. A woman he met convalescing at the sweeping English country estate, The Downs.
Vivienne jumps at the invitation to spend time at this magnificent property, doing so with unfettered access to family papers.
What she doesn't expect is to come face-to-face—and immediately go head-to-head—with Battle Talyn, the ludicrously handsome, imposing, ridiculously arrogant Duke of Burleigh.
From the start, Vivi and Battle match wits, but it doesn't take long for Vivi to realize something is amiss at The Downs. She dives into her research to figure it out, at the same time Battle launches a campaign that Vivi doesn't quite understand.
The game is on, and a mystery is afoot.
What kept the doomed lovers apart all those years ago? What's happening in the ballroom? Is there a curse on The Downs?
And what does all of this have to do with Battle and Vivi?
