James Standish knows how to play society's game. He'll follow the rules, marry a virginal debutante, and inherit a massive fortune. At least, that's the plan until he meets Francesca Thorne. She's not the sort of woman a respectable gentleman like James could ever marry--not least because, strictly speaking, she's married already. Francesca is determined to flout convention and divorce her philandering husband. When James sweet talks his way into her life tasked with convincing her to abandon her dream of freedom, she's unprepared for the passion that flares between them. Torn apart by conflicting desires, James and Francesca must choose whether to keep chasing the lives they've always wanted or take a chance on a new and forbidden love.
