England, 1666; the year prophecy said the world would end.
For Chloe Hervaux, marriage to wild, unpredictable Alex Deveril offers escape from a home she hates. For Alex, waking up with an epic hangover, the discovery that he has acquired a bride is an unwelcome shock.
While Alex enters a dark, secret labyrinth of intrigue as he searches for a traitor, Chloe navigates the shark-infested waters of Charles II's court and plots a course of her own aimed at financial independence.
Absorbed in his task, Alex spares little thought for his bride. But when the flames of the Great Fire sweep over London, he and Chloe face the ultimate test.
