"Cornouailles, 1894
La réputation de Will Hart, duc d'Ashmore, n'est plus à faire : homme froid, sans cœur et désespérément pragmatique, il sait faire fuir d'un seul regard glacial quiconque ose s'opposer à lui. Et être forcé de retourner au manoir en ruine de son enfance au fin fond des Cornouailles n'est pas pour améliorer son humeur ! C'est donc avec un tempérament orageux et des paroles acerbes qu'il accueille Madeline Ravenwood, petite-fille de vicomte et jardinière de renom. Déterminée et sûre d'elle, la jeune femme tient à ce qu'il restaure le manoir, point d'orgue du village et du futur festival floral auquel elle concourt. Les enjeux sont de taille : la princesse royale est attendue, et son aval pourrait infléchir la carrière de Madeline. Et, Will a beau tempêter et refuser cette responsabilité, Madeline semble décidée à lui tenir tête coûte que coûte... Dans ses yeux bleus envoûtants brille la flamme du défi, qui attise un désir brûlant en Will. Cette adversaire à sa hauteur pourrait-elle être celle qui réveillera son cœur ?"

Alexandra Prince is clever, outspoken, and, yes, perhaps a bit impulsive. Yet she’s always been overshadowed by her siblings. While they are off on adventurous expeditions, she’s the one left to keep the family’s antique shop going while she works on a book about lady pirates—and longs for an adventure of her own. When she overhears a group of suspicious customers whispering about a plan to steal the Crown Jewels, she knows it’s her opportunity to shine. But she needs a little help.
Detective Inspector Benedict Drake takes his duties at Scotland Yard seriously. In fact, he takes almost everything seriously. Except for the breathless beauty who crashes into his office to tell him about a ludicrous scheme to steal the Crown Jewels. Despite his turning her away, she keeps popping up wherever he goes, and he’s not sure whether she’s determined to cause a scandal or is trying to drive him to distraction. Just when he thinks he’s rid of her, an event compels him to believe her account, and he begrudgingly enlists her aid to thwart the theft of the century.
But while thieves seek the Crown Jewels, the troublesome bluestocking he can’t seem to keep away from might just steal his heart…
