James Ryding (Crompton) needs to get close enough to the
Crompton family to discover whether or not they are his
Uncle and Aunt, last seen two decades ago. The solution that
comes to mind is an unusual one. No one pays much attention
to the servants within a household. He simply needs to
insert himself into the everyday running of the home, as a
footman then wait until he is given the opportunity to
gather proof of what he fears, and discover just what
happened to his relatives.
Blythe Crompton, innocent, wants nothing more than to bring
her parents the standing in the ton they deserve. Certainly
the Duke of Savoy brings no spark to her breast or warmth to
her heart, but to please her beloved father she will
entertain his suit. What is important is that her father
wants the best for her and has determined that would be
marriage to the Duke. If only she could rid herself of the
outlandish feelings that make themselves known each time she
encounters the new footman...a footman for goodness sake!
In book three of the An Heiress in London series,
Olivia Drake has created deception nested within duplicity
feeding into an intricate plot with roots far in the past.
The threads of mendacity revealed in the previous books are
strengthened then revealed in their entirety as the story
progresses bringing the series to a satisfying conclusion
filled with danger and, of course, romance.
The youngest of the Crompton heiresses, Blythe yearns to
marry into the aristocracy to bolster her family's place
in society. The widowed Duke of Savoy seems to be the
perfect choice, yet it's another man who sets her heart to
pounding: the new footman, James. He's devilishly handsome
and far more fascinating than any of her noble suitors.
And he alone has the power to stir her romantic dreams.
Little does she know, however, James Ryding is the true
heir to the Crompton fortune. He's posing as a servant in
order to find evidence to prove her parents are imposters.
By charming Blythe, he hopes to use her to regain his
rightful inheritance. But as heat flares between them, he
realizes that fulfilling his quest will mean ruining the
beautiful, spirited woman who has captured his heart.
