"A forbidden love between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician makes for a tantalizing Victorian season. Ana Marâia Luna Valdâes has strived to be the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, and the perfect representative of the powerful Luna family. So when Ana Marâia is secretly sent to London with her sisters to seek refuge from the French occupation of Mexico, she experiences her first taste of freedom far from the judgmental eyes of her domineering father.

But when Ana Marâia finds herself in the crosshairs of a nefarious nobleman with his own political agenda, Gideon knows he must offer his hand as protection . . . but will this Mexican heiress win his heart as well?"--
