The alluring and art-loving Lucy Barrington leads a lonely life, yearning to find the man of her dreams. Unbeknownst to her, fate brings an unexpected twist that could make her dream a tangible reality... When her father, the Duke, invites one of London’s best acting troupes to perform at his house, Lucy’s first glimpse of the lead actor takes her breath away. His dazzling eyes spark a desire within her, but will she surrender to a potentially dangerous game of lust?
The talented Alexander Russell has always been a leaf blowing in the wind, more devoted to his acting career than to love. His world is turned upside down, though, when he finds himself affixed to Lady Lucy's luminous grey eyes. Although he knows that even a glance at the Duke’s daughter could get him into trouble, he has a hard time restraining himself from expressing his burning desire. What is the charming actor willing to do when he realises that the woman he can not have is the same woman he simply can not live without? Lucy and Alexander’s attraction is strong like a magnet, but their apparent class differences threaten their flaming affair to its very core. As if that was not enough, there is another man in Lucy’s life who lurks in the shadows ready to cause a scandal… Will they manage to break all the barriers that keep them apart? Or will their lustful relationship be shattered once and for all?
