A clean Regency mystery about a courageous young lady who risks everything to save a lord from disgrace, a reluctant groom ensnared by duty, and a deadly investigation that could cost them not only their reputations-but their lives.
She cannot remain silent ...He goes from accused to engaged in less than a day ...
Lord Brendan Ridley never imagined his recent elevation to baron would be accompanied by a murder accusation. When unexpected help arrives in the form of a determined young lady willing to vouch for him, honor compels him to protect her from the ensuing scandal. Marriage is the only respectable path forward-even if their natures clash at every turn.
Thrown together by circumstance, Lily and Brendan must learn to trust each other as they seek to uncover the truth behind a deadly mystery. But as their partnership deepens, so too does the possibility that what began as a necessary arrangement might become something far more meaningful.
