**Premise:**
To save her scholarly family from the horrors of debtors’ prison, Rosalind Fawley accepts a devil’s bargain: she must impersonate the recently deceased Duchess of Morvania. Her mission is simple—cast a single, crucial vote in the Duchess’s stead. But her deception is anything but, especially under the piercing gaze of Lord Chancellor Julian Deverell, a man whose formidable ‘Aetheric Logic’ allows him to perceive the very fabric of falsehoods.
Julian is immediately suspicious of the ‘Duchess,’ whose presence ripples with untruths he can’t ignore. What begins as a tense cat-and-mouse game, with Rosalind’s freedom on the line, quickly evolves into a reluctant alliance. As they unravel the dangerous conspiracy behind her imposture, they discover the bill is just the tip of a treacherous iceberg. Forced to work together, their animosity melts into a dangerous attraction, forcing them to choose between the letter of the law and a far more profound truth that lives in their hearts.
