Two women with secrets and the noblemen who try to unravel them.
A woman with no name, no past, no memoryrescued by an earl with his own bitter secrets.
Widowed, and childless, the earl needs a new wife, and an heir, but he knows himself to be incapable of love. The obvious solution is a marriage of convenience with a woman of sense. Is the mystery woman fit to become his countess? And how could a marriage be made to work when both of them have so many buried secrets?
Isabella Winstanley has successfully duped Society about her fortune and her unconventional work among the poor. Until the day she finds herself facing the Duke of Amburley's pistol. The duke is determined to expose her for the impostor she clearly is. And then Amburley challenges Isabella to a curricle race. Through London's streets, of all places. What will become of Isabella if her outrageous conduct becomes known? And what will Amburley demand as forfeit if she loses?
