One twin in an asylum. One playing her part. One husband with far too much to lose. And a duke who might outwit them all.
When Helen Sterling finds her twin sister locked away in an asylum, she doesn't weep-she plots. With no legal rights and no time to waste, Helen plans to confront Lord Ashford... only to be mistaken for the very woman he cast aside.
She doesn't correct him.
Sliding into her sister's silk gloves and silent role, Helen sets out to force a divorce and claim guardianship. But power is rarely surrendered without a price.
While she manipulates the mistress and corners the husband, one man watches-closely. He doesn't expose her. He doesn't interfere. He simply waits-just long enough to bend the game in his favour.
In a society where affection is leverage and desire a weapon, Helen may have met the only player she can't predict.
A novel of deception, desire, and heroines who don't play fair-perfect for readers who like their romance sharp, strategic, and scandalous.
