For his part, Coll despairs of finding a woman who can even carry on a decent conversation. Finding himself backstage at the theater to escape his mother’s latest attempt at matchmaking, Coll meets the lovely and talented Persephone Jones. After rescuing her from a an abusive situation, he finds he is unwilling to walk away, though an actress would not be a socially acceptable wife. As Coll ponders this, the duo discover someone wants to kill Persephone. As their mutual attraction blossoms, they work to find the would-be assassin. Finally, Persephone’s secret is revealed, and it is a secret worth killing for.
