Miss Cassandra Paxton is sure her brother, Rupert, did
something terrible before he died, and the only way to find
out what it was is to ask his former friends. After
questioning Lord Deverill, she's put at ease for the
moment, but she still wants to talk to others.
Lord Justin Deverill can't tell Cassandra the truth for
doing so would put her in danger. However, he will do
everything he can to keep his promise to Rupert of keeping
Cassandra safe and hope she never finds out the truth.
After two attempts on Cassandra's life, Justin is forced to
take drastic measures.
Treachery, a promise to a dying man and a locket won at
cards inevitably bring Lord Deverill and Cassandra Paxton
together. If you like romantic mysteries, this one will
warm your heart. I liked the story and the characters a
lot, however I was left wanting something more.
A delightful tale of romance and intrigue from the
acclaimed author of Mr. Knightley's Diary.
Arriving in Brighton, Cassandra Paxton had one
important task-to uncover the meaning of a letter she'd
found amidst her late brother's belongings. She knew of
only one man who could help her: Lord Deverill, who just
happened to be the most eligible bachelor in all of
Brighton.
But what she didn't realize-until it
was too late-was that the handsome earl had a secret of
his own. One that might prevent him from telling her the
truth-and one that made a marriage between them
impossible. Which was most unfortunate, considering the
way his gentle touch made Cassandra's pulse quicken.
