"Rachael Miles' knowledge of the time period she writes about adds a
depth of authenticity that enriches every page."
--Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author
Lena Frost is a force to be reckoned with. A woman who has made her way
in society without family or fortune, she's about to realize her first
big success as an artist. . . . Until her business partner makes off
with her money, leaving her with little more than her hopes--and a dead
body in her studio. Now Lena is at the mercy of a strikingly handsome
stranger demanding answers she dare not reveal . . .
Is it her seductive eyes, or his suspicion that she's up to no good that
have Clive Somerville shadowing Lena's every move? Either way, his
secret investigation for the Home Office has him determined to uncover
Lena's hidden agenda. But the closer he gets to her, the more he longs
to be her protector. Is she a victim of circumstance? Or a dark force in
a conspiracy that could destroy everything Clive holds dear? Discovering
the truth could have dire consequences, not only for Lena, but for his
heart . . .
