She hides a blade behind her fan. He hides his scars behind a title. Together, they may lose everything -- or discover love worth the risk.

Lady Céleste Beaumont lives a dangerous double life. By day, she is a dutiful daughter navigating London society. By night, disguised as "Monsieur Laurent," she teaches fencing to gentlemen of the ton, keeping her family and fellow émigrés from ruin. If her secret were ever exposed, scandal would destroy them all.

Alexander, Duke of Thornfield, returned from Waterloo a haunted man. Restless and unwilling to face society's expectations, he finds unexpected solace at Laurent's fencing academy. But the more time he spends with the enigmatic master, the more something feels... familiar. And when his path crosses with the captivating Lady Céleste, his heart is caught between suspicion and desire.

Lord Ashworth, however, has his own designs on Céleste -- and he will stop at nothing to claim her. With her father's frail health, her secret life unraveling, and Ashworth's threats closing in, Céleste must choose: continue the deception that shields her family, or risk everything for the Duke who sees her true self.

A clean, wholesome Regency romance filled with secrets, swordplay, and slow-burn passion.
