An unexpected passion ignites as secrets are exposed in
Sophie Barnes's captivating Regency-set romance
Despite the diversions offered at Thorncliff Manor,
former
spy James, the Earl of Woodford, has one purpose in
staying
there. He must find an encoded book that exposes a
conspiracy within the British aristocracy. And he must do
so
without revealing his purpose to the clever, tempting
Chloe
Heartly. The lady has a knack for appearing wherever it
is
least convenient. In the library. In the salon. And,
especially, in his arms . . .
Somewhere within Thorncliff's labyrinth of rooms lies the
journal Chloe desperately seeks. When she realizes the
brooding, handsome earl is hunting the same quarry, Chloe
enters into an uneasy partnership. But in the face of
public
danger and enemies hiding in plain sight, both must
decide
how much they're willing to risk to solve the mysteries
of
the heart.
