Friendship…
Lady Theodora Montgomery departed Miss Emmeline’s School of Education and Decorum for Ladies of Outstanding Quality to attend her first London Season—her three dearest friends by her side. With her sharp wit and skill on the archery field, Theo is far more interested in winning a large purse prize than securing a husband. But when she is unmasked on the tourney grounds, her face exposed to all, she fears her identity and days spent gallivanting around London will cause not only her undoing, but the downfall of her friends as well.
Loyalty…
Mr. Alistair Price, heir to the elderly Viscount Melton, arrived in London with his eight younger siblings in tow. He is charged with keeping his family name above reproach until the Season starts and his sister, Miss Adeline Price, is presented to society—though that proves far more difficult than Alistair ever expected when he discovers his rebellious sister climbing down the side of their townhouse and scurrying off to Whitechapel for an archery tournament. His focus remains on saving his family from the certain ruin and disgrace Adeline’s actions invited—until Alistair catches sight of another female archer, her arrow connecting with far more than the center of her target.
And honor above all…
With Theodora’s future—and that of her friends—in jeopardy, will she agree to a marriage devoid of affection, or risk everything for the man who won her heart?

Ter o seu futuro – e o de suas amigas – em perigo, fará com que Theodora concorde com um casamento desprovido de afeição, ou com que arrisque tudo pelo homem que possui o seu coração?
Amizade…
Lady Theodora Montgomery partiu da Escola de Educação e Decoro para Damas de Excepcional Qualidade da Senhorita Emmeline para comparecer à sua primeira Temporada em Londres – com suas três amigas mais queridas ao seu lado. Com sua inteligência afiada e habilidades no tiro com arco, Theo está muito mais interessada em ganhar um grande prêmio do que em garantir um marido. Mas quando é desmascarada em meio a um torneio, tendo o seu rosto exposto a todos, ela teme que a sua identidade, e os seus dias vagando por Londres, causem não apenas a sua ruína, mas a também a de suas amigas.
Lealdade…
O Sr. Alistair Price, herdeiro do idoso Visconde Melton, chegou à Londres com os seus oito irmãos mais novos a reboque. Ele está encarregado de manter o nome da família acima da censura até que a Temporada comece e a sua irmã, a Senhorita Adeline Price, for apresentada à sociedade – embora isso se prove muito mais difícil do que Alistair alguma vez esperou, principalmente quando ele descobre a sua rebelde irmã pulando o muro de casa e fugindo para Whitechapel direto para um torneio de tiro com arco. Seu foco se mantém em salvar a sua família da ruína e da desgraça que as ações de Adeline causaram – até que Alistair avista outra arqueira, sua flecha se conectando com muito mais do que o centro do alvo.
E honra acima de tudo…
Com o futuro de Theodora – e o de suas amigas – em perigo, ela concordará com um casamento desprovido de afeto ou arriscará tudo pelo homem que possui o seu coração?
