Publisher's Synopsis
The first kiss occurred in a dimly-lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hasting's grand house. Louisa never saw it coming... Of course, Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was meant to distract the armed guard. After all, Louisa Bryce is no man's idea of an alluring female. The only thing they have in common is a passionate interest in the private affairs of Mr Hastings - a prominent member of Victorian Society whom they both suspect of hiding terrible secrets. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more perilous than either anticipates - and their hasty partnership will be more heated than either expects.
