In Cathy Maxwell's captivating new series, the chime of wedding bells echoes through the air, but which Whitridge twin will claim the role of the groom?

Lady Charlene Blanchard, a penniless orphan of a disreputable earl, thrives on the excitement of picking the pockets of unsavory gentlemen to ensure her survival. However, due to her extraordinary beauty and esteemed lineage, she is handpicked as a potential bride for the Duke of Baynton, who is on the hunt for a suitable wife to bear his heirs. All Char has to do is play the part she was born to perform and charm a duke she has never laid eyes on into proposing.

Except the duke turns out to be the tall, dark, and alluring stranger who has just caught her red-handed as a thief! Or is he? Jack Whitridge, the duke's twin brother, has been missing for over a decade.

As the Whitridge twins and Lady Charlene are drawn deeper into a web of secrets and yearnings, the question remains: which Whitridge twin will emerge as the true groom, and will Char's heart be the ultimate prize?
