Emilyβs efforts to clear Robertβs name take her to Vienna.
Glittering balls, sordid back streets, chic cafes, and even

exonerating Robert can only be paid by placing Colin in
deadly peril. And the one way Emily can ensure his safety
is to strike an unthinkable bargain with her nemesis, the
Countess von Lange.
