Publisher's Synopsis
A #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a sexy and scandalous Regency romance about an adventurous woman and the mysterious son of a duke who finds his way into her life-perfect for Bridgerton fans.
Eliza Melrose has always cherished her independence. And when she and her family lived in the countryside, it was easy to slip out for a midnight ride, write articles for her father's newspaper, and otherwise do as she pleased. But now that they've moved to the heart of fashionable London, her every move is scrutinized and judged. Worse yet, her father wants her to wed and take her proper place in society.
But Eliza wants nothing to do with marriage. And when the new Duke of Chester moves into his family's long-abandoned home across the square, her journalistic instincts immediately kick in. Are the rumors true-did he really kill his family? Is he as rakish as everyone says? The more Eliza finds out, the more she wants to know. Because the duke is a fascinating study of contradictions-reclusive and arrogant, fiercely protective and deeply passionate. But those who dance too close to the fire often get burned. And as the undeniable flame between them ignites, the only question is: Who's holding the match?
Sexy, scandalous and utterly unputdownable, this is the Regency novel you've been waiting for!
