A woman of mixed heritage and unconventional talents must navigate Regency society's strictures to secure her inheritance and her future, all while under the watchful, and potentially romantic, eye of her trustee. Anya Marleigh, the daughter of an Earl and his Indian Mistress, has already defied societal norms by pursuing her musical passions. Now, an unexpected inheritance hinges on her marriage before her twenty-fifth birthday, a condition that places her fate in the hands of the infuriatingly attractive Lord Damian Ashton, who has the power to approve her suitors and potentially thwart her happiness. As unsuitable proposals mount, Anya must discern whether Ashton is merely fulfilling his duty or if his interference conceals deeper motives.
