After he's caught alone with a duke's ward, an earl, one of Whitehall's finest spies, must marry. A marriage neither wants until that first kiss.
The Earl of Moreham has no interest in society seasons or the parties thereof. Being known as a rake has helped him avoid such unsavory situations such as tedious receiving lines and pinch-faced bluestockings. He much prefers the solitude and danger of his work as a dedicated spymaster for the Crown. Unfortunately, his current investigation of a duke suspected of treason lands him in the middle of the upper crust crowd he avoids, complete with wearisome minuets and bothersome missesβone in particular who will not take no for an answer. One who he wishes he wasnβt so drawn to.
Gillian Browning is the perfect definition of a Lady. She has manners and decorum, doing what she should, when she should. But as the niece of the Duke of Whitney, when she learns of a vile conspiracy to convict her uncle of treason, she will stop at nothing to prove his innocenceβeven insisting she help the arrogant agent search her uncleβs bookroom to verify his lack of guilt. But when they find a coded note, Gillian is forced to admit her uncle is hiding something. Worse, when caught compromisingly alone, they are forced to marry. Now they must work together to find the truth, despite the mutual distrust that battles against their undeniable attraction.
When the note is decrypted, Moreham and Gillian are caught up in a conspiracy of murder, greed, and a secret that puts Gillian in grave danger. Can Moreham save a wife heβs not sure he wanted, but one heβs discovered he loves?
