After refusing to become a wealthy patron's mistress, Nève was promptly shown the door to the streets. When she accidentally saves the life of a handsome duke, she doubts the encounter will go any better than her last brush with nobility.

They both stand to win . . . but only if they’re willing to risk their hearts.","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300684316912,"sku":"9781538737712","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781538737712_p0.jpg?v=1763746184","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781538737712","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
