Publisher's Synopsis
The wedding-night death of her much older husband - and one tiny lie - left Tess Townsend the Dowager Duchess of Wansford. Now she and her two best friends run King & co, London's most discreet investigative agency. Longing to taste the physical pleasure she's never experienced but unwilling to risk her hard-won independence by marrying again, she realises a scandalous offer from the handsome new Duke could be the answer to her prayers.
