Miss Wilhelmina "Mina" Crawford is desperate. Having been ruined in the
eyes of society years ago for one foolish, starry-eyed mistake, she
spends her days secreted away at her family's crumbling estate, helping
her brother manage the land but not able to truly live life the way
she's always dreamed. When her brother admits to just how dire their
finances have gotten, she takes it upon herself to procure
employment...but the only one who will even consider the scandalous idea
of a female secretary is the brilliant, ruthless, and infuriating Earl
of Creswick.
Simon Loughton, the Earl of Creswick, needs help if he wants to finally
pass the reform bill he's been championing for years and secure the vote
for England's most vulnerable constituents. Too bad help comes in the
form of a woman with breathtaking nerve, fiery red hair, and a sense of
humor to match.
Now temptation--disguised as a lovely, clever-mouthed devil--lives and
works under Simon's very roof. And Mina finally feels as though she's
truly living life to her wildest dreams. But even the most incendiary of
kisses can't incinerate Mina's past...or the shocking secret that could
ruin them both.
