Let bestselling author Liz Carlyle sweep you away to Regency England and into the lives of the outrageous Rutledge family, where scandal is served up like a soup course and dangerous secrets abound.
The daughter of London's wickedest widow, Helene de Severs left England in disgrace and has struggled to overcome her heritage. Renowned within Europe's emerging psychiatric field for her gift healing children, she returns to England confident she has learned to govern her own reckless emotions.

Sometimes the workings of the mind are as dangerous as those of the heart. And soon, danger is truly everywhere...
