Romance | Historical
Scandals, secrets – and a suspicious new spouse… Widowed Tess Hardington’s life is complicated enough
without marriage. She has her sister’s small daughter to
raise, her own tarnished reputation to contend with, her
greedy uncle’s scheme to take control of her inheritance,
and her scandalous secret work to continue. It’s this last
calling that she’s most passionate about – but it’s also
the reason why she needs a new husband, and fast. Without
a spouse, her uncle will take her money – and her venture
will surely fail. Former army captain Charles Emerson is hardly a logical
candidate – after all, Tess turned him down when they were
little more than besotted children. But the lovely young
widow is desperate – and Charles finds himself, strangely
enough, willing, if only to best Tess’s loathsome uncle at
his own game. The trouble is, “marriage” to Tess will not
be the simple business arrangement it might be – not with
her midnight excursions out of the house prickling his
curiosity, and London’s prostitutes falling victim to a
vicious killer. Is Tess putting herself in harm’s way?
Unacceptable – especially when Charles realizes that what
he feels for his spirited bride is real love, and no
secret about it…
