Piers, marquis de Granville, est agent secret au service de la Couronne. Lors d’un bal, alors qu’il fouille la bibliothèque du maître des lieux, il est rejoint par Charlotte Highwood qui le met en garde contre les intrigues de sa mère, une hystérique prête à tout pour la marier. Elle va leur tendre un traquenard, affirme-t-elle. Mais le destin espiègle les rattrape : surpris en tête à tête, ils sont obligés de se fiancer. Catastrophée, Charlotte cherche désespérément un moyen pour échapper à ce mariage imposé. Quant à Piers, attendri par cette charmante gaffeuse et bientôt embrasé par son innocente sensualité, il sent peu à peu tomber toutes ses défenses…
Afficher en entierAll Charlotte wanted was to avoid scandal. Instead, she was caught in the arms of a mysterious, handsome lord...and he's not letting go.
On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library.
Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler did it.
All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn't her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers' true identity, she'll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville--the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she's ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn't got a clue.
But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit . . . and melt a woman's knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte's safety is the truth about his dark past.
Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte's feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who's sworn to never love?
