"Lilith," Raymond murmured, "You have feelings for me... don't you?" A shiver went down Lilith's spine and goosebumps broke out on her skin.

But when she suddenly finds herself back in the time when those fancy balls actually happened, she is distraught beyond belief and ends up bumping- literally- into Raymond Cavill, a cold-hearted Duke, known for not giving any women a second glance.
