The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound.

A summer’s evening in Amsterdam and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant.

But the empty words hide a terrible conflict and, with every new course, the knives are being sharpened.

Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. Together, the boys have committed a horrifying act, caught on camera; despite a police manhunt, the boys remain unidentified – by everyone except their parents.
