Young Elise of the Von Schillers was sent to Giancarlo Verrazzano for him to mentor secretly. A cynic to love, she manages to draw him in with her innocent charm and cheeky wit, and it is seriously impairing his duties.
When he learned that an old enemy has come back to the city, he has to expose her identity for her own sake even though it will force him to confess his connection to a secret – an exclusive club that caters to the darkest secrets of tortured souls...
