Synopsis

Rosalind Sharpe is a clever con artist who targets the wealthy Duke of Avendale for one final swindle to secure her family's future. But when the notorious duke catches her red-handed, he offers a scandalous bargain: he will give her the funds she needs in exchange for one week in his bed. As they engage in this high-stakes game of desire and deception, both must decide how much of their guarded hearts they are willing to risk.
