Distrust is no match for desire as a proper young miss
and a self-professed rogue hunt down a murderer in this
thrilling Disgraced Lords novel from the USA Today
bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A
Taste
of Seduction.
Arend Aubury trusts no one besides his fellow Libertine
Scholars. After his family escaped from France, penniless
and persecuted, only the Scholars took him in. So when
the
stepdaughter of the villainess who has been plotting
against
them approaches Arend with allegations against their
enemy,
he suspects a double cross. Yet Isobel is a tantalizing
prize, with lips as sweet as champagne and skin as creamy
as
Camembert. Is she a feast for the senses—or a bitter
trap?
Lady Isobel Thompson dreams of marrying an honorable
gentleman with a spotless reputation, a trait that Arend
seems to lack completely. But Isobel believes that her
stepmother is responsible for her father’s death, and
only
Arend has the skills to uncover the truth. As a cover,
Arend
suggests a fake betrothal—and soon Isobel finds herself
forgetting that their courtship is a ploy. He’s so
different
from the man of her fantasies, and yet he’s so terribly
handsome, so dangerously intoxicating—and all Isobel
wants
is more.
