Enviada a Veneza para recuperar um relicário roubado, a historiadora da arte Seraphine March persegue sombras por canais iluminados por velas — até que um estranho mascarado a resgata de uma emboscada sob o Rialto. Ele é Alessandro di Santori, um príncipe exilado transformado em um notório anfitrião de bailes de máscaras, com um sorriso malicioso que promete pecados e segredos. Cada valsa da meia-noite a atrai para mais fundo em seu labirinto de intrigas: conspirações sussurradas contra o trono, o relicário escondido sob pisos espelhados e o caos suave de quando a mão enluvada dele pressiona a sua contra o bater do coração dele. Alessandro jura protegê-la dos assassinos que seguem seu rastro, mas o maior perigo vem da maneira como sua voz se suaviza quando ele revela seu verdadeiro nome. Em uma cidade onde máscaras significam sobrevivência, você desmascarará o príncipe ao amanhecer — e reivindicará o amor que pode custar a coroa a ambos?
