When a murdered stranger carries her calling card, a lady psychic must clear her name—and protect the friend whose secrets may have gotten him killed. A man lies dead in the streets of London, and Electra Poole's calling card is found in his hand. Inspector Gideon Pierce, drawn back into her orbit despite every professional instinct, comes to her with questions she cannot answer. She has never met Percival Pennington. She has no idea why he carried her card. But Pierce's suspicion cuts deeper than the mystery itself, and Electra knows that her word alone will not be enough. The investigation leads to Lady Cordelia Redmayne—Electra's dearest friend, her housemate, and the wife of a powerful Member of Parliament.

The world knows her as the Duchess of Trevescan, the brightest star in London, the clever, beautiful wife of a hermit husband. What they do not know is that Duchess is no Duchess at all—she’s a fraud, having faked her marriage and stolen the title and the funds of the Trevescan name, all in service to a larger cause…with her "husband" none the wiser. Except Branok Penrose, Duke of Trevescan, knows more about Duchess's secrets than anyone else. He has been watching her for years, waiting for the right moment to return and collect on her unpaid debts…and his undeniable desires. When Duchess empties his accounts, Bran knows if he doesn’t claim her now, she’ll be gone forever. The last thing Duchess needs is a man upending her well-laid plans, especially this one, a final adventure that will vanquish her past and lay the groundwork for her future.
