Elissande Edgerton is usually a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Just through marriage can she state the freedom she craves. But how to catch an ideal man?

Lord Vere can be used to baiting irresistible traps. Being a secret agent for the government, he’s monitored down some of the most devious scammers in London, even while keeping his cover as you of society’s most harmless-and idiotic-bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal to be ensnared by Elissande.

Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only ones with a concealed agenda. With seduction their only weapon-and a dark top secret from the past endangering both their lives-can they learn to trust each other even while they surrender to a enthusiasm that won’t be denied?
