When the introverted Charles Elliot, Earl of Wiltshire, and his identical surrogate brother, Henry Thomas, discover that their recently deceased father was murdered, they switch identities in London society to investigate. Strict rules are put in place, the most important being that they aren’t to fall in love while in disguise.

Charles is met with a dilemma when he is thrown into a peculiar circumstance with Lily Mason, a young lady who is restless in London society and craves more. Lily’s sister, Jane, has been working hard to claim what she feels is most important: a title in the form of marriage to Lord Frederick Fletcher. 

When Henry tests everything Jane has worked so hard to achieve, she will have to choose to hold fast to the security of her well crafted plans, or be daring and try something new.

When William Ashby receives unexpected news that he is next in line to inherit a duke’s fortune and title, he is hesitant to leave his country home in exchange for a large estate on the outskirts of London. Not only is he keen on staying in Wilton, he also does not look favorably upon the Duke’s family name.

Upon arriving at the duke’s estate, William is told a deadly secret, which he must keep to himself if he is to help more than one person escape an untimely death from a murderer out for revenge.

Lady Eve’s first year in society has not gone according to plan. Instead of being welcomed by the ton, she is ignored due to the despicable actions of her brother. To make matters worse, her father has invited his new heir, Mr. Ashby, to stay for the foreseeable future—a man who looks poorly upon her family name. She is determined to stay far away from him. What will she do when she is forced to be in Mr. Ashby’s company, and his piercing blue eyes and kind heart constantly occupy her thoughts, despite her better judgment? And will she discover the secret she is convinced he is hiding?

Charles Elliot and Henry Thomas, nearly identical gentlemen and brothers in every way except blood, are horrified to discover ghosts from the past, threatening all they hold dear. With help from Lawrence, the ever reliable butler, and the elusive Goldfinch Society, Henry’s and Charles’s plans collide with William’s. Now they can only hope it will be enough to keep their loved ones safe and bury the past for good.
