GENRE: Historical
Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Lord
Rimswell is a man of honor and absolutes. If he says something is impossible,
it is. Yet his life of right and wrong is turned upside down when he finds
himself in a compromising situation with the most unyielding, yet maddeningly
beautiful, woman in London. If only he had not given in to the irresistible
temptation to kiss her. Now he must marry her.
Miss
Roselie Stratton is the very definition of impossible-headstrong, outspoken and
carrying a reticule of secrets that could ruin more than her reputation.
Kissing Brody is hardly the most ruinous thing Roselie has ever done as a
secret agent for the Home Office…nor will she let a marriage of convenience
stop her from continuing her work. Little does Roselie realize that she has
underestimated Brody's resolve to keep her safe-for he has hopelessly fallen in
love with her and is determined to do the impossible by stealing her heart in
return.

EXCERPT
London, 1811
“Smile, my dear Miss Stratton,” Lady Essex Marshom
advised. And not for the first time.
So Roselie did her best to smile.
It was a Herculean effort, to say the least.
She glanced around the crowded room at Almack’s and
wished she could be more like the other girls. That her only concern was who
might ask her to dance. Or if she should have worn her green ribbons or her
blue ones. Or whether she needed new slippers.
But she wasn’t like other girls.
After all, she’d been out in London Society for
four long years—a veritable eternity in the ton. Nor in her favor was her
complete lack of interest in frippery or likely candidates.
Actually, she was rather proud of her ability to
send suitors shying for the hills. And she would continue to be too sharp, too
bossy and whatever else it took to maintain her freedom.
Because quite simply, marriage would ruin
everything.
Especially when she had work to do.
She checked once again—and yes, the note she’d been
slipped by one of the servants was still tucked in the top of her glove. She
wouldn’t have a spare moment to read it until she got away from this crush,
most likely until she got home . . . and bother . . . that was still a few
hours away.
The note that might be the answer to all her
prayers. Years of work. The last bit of evidence she needed to bring down her
enemy, the Marquess of Ilford.
For he was her enemy, as much as he was England’s.
And nothing would deter her from seeing him pay for his heinous crimes.
But in the meantime . . .
Her frustration got away from her, and she sighed.
More like, groaned. Quite loudly and rather unbe-comingly.
“Miss Stratton!” Lady Essex chided. “The company
tonight may be thin, but a lady never reveals her bore-dom. Why look at Miss
Taber! How fortunate Lady Muscoates is to have a ward who illuminates every
room she enters.” Her ladyship tapped her fan against her chin as she examined
the fetching girl across the room. “Though I must say, a ward should never be
that pretty. Rather, indecent, don’t you agree, Mariah?”
