She was the Diamond of the Season. He was the Scoundrel of the North. One dance was all it took to set their world on fire.

Lady Rosalind Thornebridge is a masterpiece of artifice, polished and poised to be sold to the highest bidder to save her family from a debt they cannot name. Known as the "Diamond," she has spent her life perfecting the art of silence and the grace of a curtsy. But beneath the primrose silk beats the heart of a woman starving for a life that is truly her own.

Gabriel St. Clair, the Earl of Ravenscar, is a man built of shadows and cold iron. Branded a rogue and a traitor’s son, he has spent years in the counting-houses of the East, building a merchant empire that London’s elite can only dream of possessing. He doesn't want a wife; he wants justice for the father they destroyed.

When a scandalous waltz at the Carlisle ball leaves Rosalind’s reputation in tatters, the "Perfect Diamond" is discarded by the ton and claimed by the Raven.

Exiled to the jagged, windswept moors of Rosewood Hall, Rosalind expects a prison. Instead, she finds a fortress of secrets, and a man who doesn't want her submission, but her partnership. As the Circle of powerful men who ruined the St. Clairs closes in to collect a final, deadly debt, Rosalind must decide: will she remain a reflecting jewel for a dying dynasty, or will she become the Merchant Queen who burns the ledger clean?

In a world of gilded lies and silver-tongued villains, the most dangerous thing a woman can possess is the truth.
