After being injured by a horse that left a scar across her face, Beatrice escapes to the countryside to begin a new life away from the viciousness of the ton and their distain for things that are not perfect. She turns her new estate into a place that welcomes other outcasts and become her haven. When the railroad contacts her about selling her property, she adamantly refuses to sell. Her estate is too important to so many and she would never take it away from them.
Wanting to do something for herself, Beatrice decides that she is going to attend a masquerade where she intends to find a lover and finally lose her virginity. After having on the the most enjoyable nights of her life, she finds out that the man she spent it with is none other than the man that intends to buy her property.
Wickham needs this railroad deal to go through. But he hasn't been able to convince the spinster that owns the property to sell it to him, so he decides to pay her a visit. Before he arrives, he decides to spend the night at a masquerade party where he encounters an enchanting woman that he spends the night with.
After the amazing night they had, Beatrice and Wickham could have something amazing, but can they get passed their dispute over her property?
I absolutely adored Wickham and Beatrice's story!! The connection they had was there from the start even though they were adversaries. I loved watching them work through all their obstacles and how they helped each other overcome their past. This was a great addition to the Game of Dukes series and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!!!
