Lord Ruthveyn dedicates himself to taking care of his
younger brother and his widowed sister, along with her
offspring, making sure they want for nothing. Lately his
brother's gambling problems pose a challenge forcing
Ruthveyn to leave him in jail and face the consequences of
his sins. Escaping to his club is the only place Ruthveyn
receives a reprieve, but fate intervenes when the beautiful
Grace Gauthier sweeps into the club demanding to see a
friend of his. Being the gentleman he is, Ruthveyn hears
her out then sends her on her way, but he accidentally
touches her bare skin and everything changes, confusing his
senses. The situation she needs help with is simple and
challenging, but Grace herself is the most intriguing
puzzle yet.
Grace Gauthier is sure she has finally found the stability
that a husband and children can offer a woman like her
until her employer and would-be fiancé is murdered in his
home. Unfortunately, Grace is seen with him in her arms and
evidence is pointing in her direction. Grace's desperation
leads her to a men's club, where an old friend is suppose
to be. Grace needs his help to find the real killer and
clear her name. To Grace's dismay, her friend is not
available and the only person willing to help is the
brooding Lord Ruthveyn, who doesn't seem to believe her.
Hopefully, Lord Ruthveyn is unable to pass up a puzzle of
adventure and intrigue. Together, he and Grace embark on a
wild and dangerous adventure, trusting instincts and the
unknown.
ONE TOUCH OF SCANDAL is a fantastic beginning to a trilogy
that promises a fun adventure and guarantees to stretch
your imagination. A very exciting read!
Grace Gauthier had taken a position as governess hoping to
find security and peace in a life that had very little of
either. She’s always yearned for a good marriage, a family,
and a home, but it was not to be. And when the brutal
murder of her employer leaves her unprotected and alone—as
Scotland Yard’s prime suspect—she has no one to turn to
except the mysterious and reclusive Lord Ruthveyn.
A dark-eyed Lucifer, Ruthveyn guards his secrets carefully.
His shadowed past as the Queen’s most trusted agent in
India is the stuff of whispered rumor, as is his mixed
ancestry. Deeply moved by her plight—and haunted by her
beauty—Ruthveyn is determined to save Grace by unmasking a
killer. But his growing passion for her soon places his own
heart at risk and threatens to expose his dark gifts—and
his dark society—to the world . . .
