Lady Suspicious
(2025)(The sixth book in the Series of Senseless Complications series)
A novel by Kate Archer
She’s determined not to be taken in by a rogue. He’s got a collection of friends and relatives making him appear to be just that.
Lady Winsome Nicolet, sixth daughter of the Duke of Pelham, has educated herself on a steady diet of gothic novels. She’s read it all—innocent ladies put in terrible danger by villains of every description. She’s also overheard her fair share of real-life stories of ladies being taken in. Rogues might be everywhere, but she can spot them.
Unfortunately, the one man she is wildly attracted to seems to be just the sort of gentleman that ought to set her running in the other direction.
Leland Dunmore, Marquess of Manderbey and only son of the Duke of Albany, met Lady Winsome at her sister Lady Verity’s wedding breakfast. The lady was not yet out, but she would be the next season, and he'''s been thinking of her ever since. When they meet again, she is everything he’d hoped for.
Unbeknownst to him, several of the people in his sphere are inadvertently or deliberately giving Lady Winsome the impression that he is exactly the sort of man she is determined to avoid. One of them might even take the thing to dangerous heights.
A suspicious lady and a gentleman appearing to be a rogue could not possibly have a chance at success. But then, perhaps claiming a thing is impossible is foolhardy if those two people are particularly determined.
Tropes you'll love:
