After her mother's sudden death, Lady Lillian St. James finds herself in limbo, forced to reside with her sinister stepfather until the new Duke of Cranston -- Lilly's guardian, returns from his travels. When her stepfather is accused of treason, she runs from the only life she knew, and with the help of her loyal staff, finds work masquerading as a cooks assistant. She adopts a new identity, and immerses herself in the role of servant until she can escape London without her stepfather finding her. However, her refuge is not as safe as it seems. When she finally meets the master of the house, she discovers the new Earl of Redwick could be a danger to her masquerade, and her heart. Dominic Coel finds himself as the new Earl of Redwick. But before he can fully embrace his new life and title, he must find the missing daughter of a duke, and stolen royal jewels. Dominic is desperate to finish this last mission and begin a life without murder and intrigue, but while he must focus on his duties, he can't help but be distracted by his lovely new cook's assistant. She is innocent to say the least, but her elusive nature and cultured speech drives him to wonder who the real Miss Millie James is.
