At last, Camellia has come to Louvre in search of her mother, but just as she turns the corner to her old home, she runs into none other than Duke Ihar! Though she successfully escapes before the young duke can blow her cover, she returns to her accommodations only to be met with his ever-watchful gaze. Hiding her identity is hard enough, but with Prince Ian openly vying for her affection and Duke Ihar's confusing and-at times-hostile behavior, there only seems to be a growing number of obstacles in Camellia's path to freedom. Not to mention, when officials investigating a series of assaults targeting noblewomen request Camellius's help, she is suddenly put in danger!
