A man who knows everything…
For nearly a decade, Drake Ramsey, the disciplined and logical Earl of Saint Brides, has been the driving force behind the Home Office; meeting with foreign leaders to negotiate treaties, spurring a lethargic Parliament into action, and directing a secret army of spies. The last thing he wants to find while taking a well-deserved vacation is a dangerous fugitive. Nevertheless, when he catches a beautiful murderess hiding in his hunting cabin, he has little choice but to bring her to justice, landing himself in a battle for control he could never hope to win.
…meets a woman determined to prove him wrong.
Marrying a stranger simply to gain access to her dowry and travel the world, admittedly, was the biggest mistake of Sarah Tindall’s life. In fact, she would readily admit to making several big mistakes. Killing her husband, however, is not one of them. When a starchy lord takes it upon himself to bring her to a London prison, she is determined to escape him and prove her innocence, yet every attempt ends with her back in her handsome captor’s arms. Even if her innocence is proven, his forbidden and passionate kisses leave her uncertain if escape was ever an option.
This is a new author for us.I love romance novels so we always love trying out new author's when we came across this novel we were glad to get a chance to find a new author to try out.
I did enjoy the plot of this story.It was a light fun read.I found the character's to be like-able and that they both surprised me every now and then when they did something out of character for them.I liked that fact that Drake was willing to listen to Sarah and not judge her on what other people were saying.I loved the fact he listened to her story and drew his own conclusions.I liked how he was drawn to Sarah yet fought it constantly.I liked seeing him squirm as she was getting under his skin little by little.(Smiles)
I love when I can relate to character's I read about or form a connection to them but, with these two main character's I was not able to do that.There was not one thing that pulled me toward either one of them .Yes I liked several things about each character but nothing that would make me love either one of them.
It was a nice romance read to pass the time.Would I give this author a try again ? Yes, as I did not love it nor hate it.I did enjoy the ending though.
For me I love to fall in love with the character's I read about or at-least love them .I don't like character's that are standoffish and I got this vibe with these character's.However ,I did enjoy getting to know them.I did enjoy the twist in the plot proving Sarah's innocence and I did enjoy the two old ladies who deemed themselves matchmakers.
We are giving this story 3 stars from us!

Even the mask of an expert spy is no defense against his own heart.
With a reputation as dark as his appearance, Greydon Sharpe, the Marquess of Ainsley, ought to have been the last agent assigned to the daughter of a well-respected Member of Parliament. However, when she is brutally attacked and left for dead, it becomes clear he is the only one with the skills to keep her alive. All it will take are a few lies to keep her breathing long enough to capture the villain. Then he can send her on her way. If she would only behave herself, he might be able to complete his mission before she turns his contentedly miserable life into a chaotic mess.
Marriage is not an option … until it is.
Lady Kathryn Bryant, the adventure-seeking socialite, has no plans to behave. Kathryn would much rather spend her time in subterfuge, nabbing villains and finding clues. However, when her memory is lost in an attack, she has little choice but to trust the handsome Marquess. Though she is almost certain he is hiding something, she is helpless against his disarming smile and warm touch. Eventually, his lies will come to the surface, leaving only one question: Is England’s deadliest spy equipped to save a broken heart?
