Along with his stepsiblings, Sheridan Wolfe, Duke of Armitage, is
determined to finally solve the mysteries behind the suspicious deaths
of their mother's three husbands. Tasked with investigating a possible
suspect, Sheridan finds himself in dangerous proximity to her
captivating daughter, Vanessa Pryde. But still haunted by a tragically
lost love, the duke is resolved to resist the attraction--and avoid any
"scheming" husband-hunters. Besides, lovely Miss Pryde seems utterly
smitten with a roguish London playwright . . .
Vanessa thinks a little scheming may be in order--for it's Sheridan she
truly has her sights, and her heart, set on. Her theatrical flirtation
is intended only to break through his business-like demeanor and guarded
emotions. And as Sheridan's jealousy becomes aroused, the two soon find
themselves propelled into a scheme of an altogether different kind,
involving a pretend engagement, a secret inquiry--and a perhaps
not-so-secret leap into true love . . .
"Anyone who loves romance must read Sabrina Jeffries!" --Lisa Kleypas,
New York Times bestselling author
"Fans will delight in revisiting Sheridan's large family in this
heated, twisty tale of love and deception."-- Publishers Weekly
