Publisher's Synopsis
Ariadne 'Ari' Carfax has never been one to play by the rules; she's an heiress to the Carfax family, banished from London when Oliver Cromwell seized the throne from King Charles. All too soon, Ari finds herself in her family's legendary vise, forced into a marriage to Ivor Chalfont, Ari's childhood friend and confidante, against her wishes. Ari resigns herself to her new life - at least until the newlyweds travel to London, and she can escape her new husband and reunite with her secret lover Gabriel. But as Ari becomes more attracted to Chalfont, she finds herself with a decision to make.
