But fate has been waiting for her. After the death of her long-lost uncle, Eleanor unexpectedly inherits the powerful Stuart family, becoming a duchess and the head of a vast trading empire. When Gabriel and his mistress return, expecting to see a defeated woman, they are stunned to discover that Eleanor now stands far above them.
As Gabriel schemes to destroy her and seize her fortune, Eleanor quietly sets her revenge in motion. The woman they threw away is about to become the one person they can never afford to cross."
