Lady's Secret
(2026)(The second book in the Lady's Rogue Companion Stories series)
A novel by C K Mackenzie
He lives for danger. She longs for escape.
For Godred, adventure is the one constant. Missions for the British Crown, narrow escapes, and found family have kept his life thrilling and his heart carefully guarded. Love is a luxury he can’t afford. When a mission goes awry, he’s forced to take shelter in a sleepy countryside village, the kind of place he normally leaves behind without a second glance.
Laying low isn’t in his nature. Falling in love most definitely is not.
Selma Grey has battled pirates, galloped bareback across Portugal, and skirted Napoleon’s armies—in her stories that is. In truth, she’s never strayed beyond the edges of her small village, and her future promises little more than a loveless marriage meant to stitch together neighboring estates. She’s desperate for escape, even if it’s only found within the pages of a story.
When Godred crashes into her world like one of her daydreams come to life, she’d charmed, he’s reckless, and the entire situation is entirely too temporary.
He’s passing through. She’s betrothed to another. Between heated glances and unforgettable kisses, Selma dares to believe her story might change. As danger follows Godred even to the quiet corners of the countryside, Selma must decide: will she fight to keep him, or will he become another adventure she only writes about?
