***** READ NOW ON KINDLE UNLIMITED *****
Thorne Gardenbrook, Marquess of Wildenhall, heir to the Duke of Elbury, needs something to fill his days – something other than his mother’s insistence that he find a bride. When he decides, on a whim, to order a sword cane and learn to use it, he sets in motion a completely unexpected chain of events.
Lady Faith St John is facing the fact that, after the scandals which rocked her family in the previous year, she may never find a man she would be willing to wed. Yet she will not give up her determination to marry for love, nor her unconventional ideas about ladies being able to defend themselves from the unwanted attentions of overly familiar gentlemen.
Then a secret revealed by a housemaid leads Faith into subterfuge, behaviour improper for a Lady, and an accidental meeting with Lord Wildenhall, and she is not certain, at first, whether he will condemn her, or conspire with her. But they are drawn to each other, the attraction growing each time they meet, despite impropriety and the risk of discovery.
When they begin a secret project for good, and gossip begins to swirl around both of them, can they discover who is spreading it, and stop it before it destroys Faith’s reputation, and all that they have achieved?
And, in the end, when the only thing between Faith and ruin is the point of a very small knife, will Lord Wildenhall find her in time?
