A runaway bride. A mysterious violinist. And a secret that could destroy them both.

Gently bred young ladies don't flee their homes in the dead of night — but Susanna has never been given gentle choices. Faced with an impossible ultimatum: marry a brutish oaf or become another man's mistress, she chooses a third path entirely. Armed with extraordinary talent and desperate courage, she escapes to London with one dream: to make her living as a harpist.

The city is unforgiving, but Susanna's bigger problem may be the dangerously charming violinist who calls himself Kit. He's attentive, handsome, and far too polished to be the working-class musician he claims. When his attention fixes on her — drawn by her breathtaking talent, her quiet grace, her smile — Susanna knows she should keep her distance. She can't afford to be noticed. Not when she's hiding everything.

But secrets have a way of surfacing. When a lawman exposes Susanna as a runaway bride and a thief, Kit must make an impossible choice of his own: follow his better judgment, or follow his heart. And doing the latter means stepping back into the life he swore he would never reclaim.

Dance with a duke. Outwit pirates. Save a kingdom. Fall in love.
