A Marquess, A Miss And A Mystery. Annie Burrows

      

      A staged seduction...

      ...to solve a murder mystery!

      After one disastrous season, Miss Horatia Carmichael avoids the ton—her mind and tongue are too unfashionably opinionated to land a husband. But to find her brother’s killer, she must join forces with incorrigible rake Lord Devizes and allow the marquess to pretend to seduce her for all to see! Horatia knows it’s not real—she’s a plain spinster after all—but as danger grows, so does their desire...
