"You are a very selfish man, Monseigneur."

"How charming of you, to both diagnose and cure me, all at the same time!"

The Marquis of Bryde, with a great deal of reluctance, has been established by his peers as The Connoisseur. However well suited to the title, Bryde considers it ungentlemanly to acknowledge such an accolade. Now, jaded by luxury and feeling bored, he chances one night to rescue a beautiful young stranger and begin a dangerous gamble with his happiness and her life.

The now grief-stricken heiress Mademoiselle Reyeh Léopard seeks nothing more than to return home to Vienna. Thwarted by her Aunt Vera's treacherous greed, Reyeh must accept help from whoever is willing to assist her. Will allowing Lord Bryde to be her rescuer, turn out to be more dangerous to her threadbare heart than facing death itself?

Will Reyeh, dwell in her grief or trust her heart to a stranger?

Will The Marquis stand the loss of his reputation to gain the ultimate prize of love?
