A hunted portrait. A twisted duke. An embarrassing crush.
When a hunted portrait arrives at the priory for safekeeping, Violet makes a disturbing discovery or two about her immortal neighbour. And an unwelcome one about herself.
As the resourceful Penhaligons try to figure out what's so special about the painting, a sinister duke makes a bold move in his bid to claim it. But the painting is not the only thing he's after.
Can Violet and the Penhaligons outwit the duke and bargain their way to victory? Or will they learn that they're not the only ones with betrayal in mind?
