Isaiah Denham never wanted to be a baron, which is terribly inconvenient, considering he is one. Second son, second choice, second-best — that was the way of things, until a twist of fate and industrial negligence left him with a title he neither expected nor desired. He spent years cutting his teeth on the law, weaving through vice and virtue with equal dexterity, a man who knows exactly how to exploit the system he loathes. Now, with the weight of his father’s empire pressing down on him and the ghosts of expectation clawing at his throat, Izzy has a decision to make: play the game, or break it entirely.
