An unexpected passion ignites as secrets are exposed in Sophie Barnes's
captivating Regency-set romance
Despite the diversions offered at Thorncliff Manor, former spy James,
the Earl of Woodford, has one purpose in staying there. He must find an
encoded book that exposes a conspiracy within the British aristocracy.
And he must do so without revealing his purpose to the clever, tempting
Chloe Heartly. The lady has a knack for appearing wherever it is least
convenient. In the library. In the salon. And, especially, in his arms .
. .
Somewhere within Thorncliff's labyrinth of rooms lies the journal Chloe
desperately seeks. When she realizes the brooding, handsome earl is
hunting the same quarry, Chloe enters into an uneasy partnership. But in
the face of public danger and enemies hiding in plain sight, both must
decide how much they're willing to risk to solve the mysteries of the
heart.
