From the back of the book- On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler did it.
All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue.
But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit . . . and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth about his dark past.
Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte’s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who’s sworn to never love?
Review- A cute historical romance with good characters. Charlotte's mother is willing to do just about anything to see her daughters well married. But Charlotte wants love in her marriage and is not willing to change that. Piers just wants to do his missions and move on the next one. But when Charlotte and Piers are caught improperly alone, he makes a declaration for her hand. Poor Charlotte is determined to save him and herself from a loveless marriage but of course as they get to know each other, they learn they have much in common. As it is a romance, they fall in love and it's a fun ride as they do so. I would recommend this novel, if you enjoy historical romances and don't mind a little spice too.
I give this book a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
