The Roxburys are back, and unexpected passions are beginning to flare. But how long can they keep their new status among the British elite while the ton's forces conspire against them-with white-hot scandal and a murderer inching ever closer? Regency-Era England, 1820s. Anne Roxbury, the newly minted Duchess of Westmoure, is still reeling from the events leading to the shocking discovery of her family's elite status. Despite their mixed-race heritage, her American son, Sterling, has inherited a dukedom and now presides over his father's estate in a society where social and economic distinctions separate the classes, and suspicion of people of color runs rampant. The Roxbury family has found allies in the king himself and a handful of trusted friends, including Berkley, the family's loyal protector, who harbors a burning desire for Anne. But the ton is a ruthless society filled with people who believe the Roxburys don't belong. When their shipping company is implicated in a sex trafficking ring, the family's guilt is assumed. How will the already snubbed Roxburys survive the accusations-and who is really behind the horrific acts of violence, murder, and espionage? Can this pistol-packing noble family play the British elite off against themselves and discover the truth? For the Roxburys, life has always been laced with bitter deceit but punctuated with love at its most intense. It will take more than lies, murder, and passionate affairs to break their stride.
