A docile wife is what he wants. A husband is the last thing she needs. Can a quest for a killer teach them that they are both wrong?
The attempts on Richard Lacey’s life begin on the day he inherits a title and a rundown estate. For a man who likes to be in control, he needs to know whether this is coincidence or not. When a beguiling but headstrong young woman turns up on his doorstep with the true heir, he knows it’s his duty to protect her. Falling in love is not part of his plan.
Intrepid Emma Smythe arrives to find a charming, but overbearing stranger has laid claim to her ancestral home and her brother’s title. Even worse, the male members of the Smythe family are being targeted by a killer. For her brother’s sake, she needs to discover the culprit. To do so, she’ll need to quell her doubts about male superiority, surrender her freedom, and trust Richard with her life.
Embroiled in a sinister mystery, can Richard and Emma put aside their misgivings and work together to catch a killer? And will this dangerous quest teach them that what they both wish to avoid is exactly what they need?
Filled with intrigue, unexpected twists, and faultless period detail, this slow-burn romance is a must-read for lovers of classic Regency fiction.
