On a previously uneventful night in Paris, two ships-who in any other circumstance would likely continue to pass through the night-collide in a stroke of serendipity. The first being Justin Alastai-the infamous and dastardly Duke of Avon-on his way to seek revenge on the Comte de Saint-Vire; the second being the abused youth Léon, who is in the midst of fleeing from his abusive guardian. Purchasing the boy from his pursuer, the Duke takes in the lost soul and gives him the position of a page, leading to the former's complete devotion and adoration.

But all is not what it seems.

Young Léon is actually young Léonie; her red hair and deep blue eyes betraying the truth of her origin; and the Duke, her apparent rescuer, might have had less than altruistic reasons for taking her under his wing.

In this thrilling tale of long-awaited revenge, can the notoriously cold-hearted Duke allow his heart to be warmed with affection and find redemption in the throes of romance?
