    Summary

    Someone believed that the best way to get to George was to take away the one thing he wouldn’t be able to live without.

    They miscalculated.

    Confined to her sick bed as her wounds heal, Bertha finds herself with two seemingly impossible tasks: planning the most important ball of the season and repairing a marriage that weeks of silence and stubborn pride have almost destroyed.

    But she’s never been the kind to back down from a challenge when one presents itself.

    George, meanwhile, isn’t idle. Far from it. He’s hunting. Determined to find the person responsible for this and make them pay. To leave them in no doubt that daring to cross the Russells had been their greatest mistake.
