Gabby has always led a live marvelously free of frills or complications. She might not be the most moneyed in the cosmos, but her artwork and her family keep her afloat in a dog-eat-dog environment that might otherwise capsize her. When she meets the devastatingly gorgeous Sebastian Hunter on a night out, his lilting British tones and skillful seduction linger on her mind for days. However, when two purple lines change her life forever, Gabby comes to a discovery that threatens everything she's ever held dear: her one time lover is a titled British duke - and it just so happens that he's in need of the perfect heir.
