Lady Carolina Neverhartt has one wish…to attend the newly opened Royal Academy of Music. Their admittance policy is strict, but she believes her skills far surpass any potential student. One man stands in her way…Wesley Cox, the Earl of Sheffield. He alone will determine if she’s as talented as she claims, and he has no problem lying to her if he believes its necessary. After her audition, he tells her she wasn’t as qualified as other individuals, and they only allow so many ladies to attend.
Carolina is furious and decides to investigate if he’s telling the truth. He only sees her pretty face and thinks her mind has nothing of substance in it. She sets out to prove him wrong on principle alone. No one deceives her without suffering the consequences.
If he won’t allow her attend the school, then perhaps there is an alternative solution. She proposes he teach her himself…privately. Lord Sheffield reluctantly agrees, and soon finds himself ensnared in trap of his own design. The question is: Can he lure Carolina inside and stay with him forever.
