Book Three of the Stuart Monarch series.

Lady Isobel Broune, daughter of the king’s inquisitor, has only two goals in life: to be the most fashionable young woman at the court of King James, and to marry Henry, the Prince of Wales. When an offer comes to help her capture the prince’s attention, Isobel doesn’t hesitate. But the offer comes with a price, and Isobel soon finds that the price is quite high. When Prince Henry’s annoying Scottish cousin, Robert Stewart, catches Isobel in a suspicious situation, not only does he pose a threat to her chances with the prince but also with the law. And when tragedy strikes too close to home, Isobel faces the consequences of her deeds and finds her whole world turned upside down.

Robert Stewart has a vendetta against the king of England. Though he is the king’s cousin, his father had his earldom stripped and was exiled from Scotland just months before Robert was born. He has come to London to seek an audience with the king and request his family’s titles be restored. But when King James refuses to cooperate, Robert decides to take matters into his own hands. Even if it means ruining his chances with the most beautiful—and condescending—woman in London, the Lady Isobel.

Suddenly Isobel’s life is threatened, and Robert can’t let her face her sins alone. When Isobel finds herself implicated in crimes, it seems the Scotsman is her only hope for redemption.
