He breaks every rule she lives by.
And now she has no choice but to trust him with her secret.

When Viscount Kelkirk collides with one of society's most accomplished young ladies in a narrow London lane—alone, secretive, and dressed to avoid notice—he knows something is wrong. Claire Belmont is hiding something, and Simon has never been good at walking away from a mystery.

Claire Belmont has built her life on restraint, because rules keep her safe. An anonymous note about her late brother forces her to risk everything to uncover the truth—and her only ally is the one man she has always kept at a careful distance. Because Simon Kelkirk doesn't just challenge her composure...
he is a threat to the woman hiding behind it.
