On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library.Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler did it.All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace.When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue.But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit . . . and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth about his dark past.Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte’s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who’s sworn to never love?

"For me when someone described this book as Clue meets Jane Austen I was in, hook, line, and sinker. However, when I actually read it, it was more hook, line, and disappointment. It was an average, middle of the road historical romance novel. Other than her apparent skill at disphyering puzzles and clues, I don’t know what the main heroine is skilled at. I guess it means that she had to meet and fall in love with a spy to discover her value and worth to other people and society. The only exciting part was when she was almost killed by a flower. I also don’t get why the sister of Delia, the main heroine’s best friend, was so set on getting revenge or simply humiliating her. I thought that maybe she was the one who had the secret dalliance in the study, but sadly that storyline did NOT happen as I thought it would. Overall, it’s 👌, not great, but not terrible either."

"What a way to end the series on a bang. I was curious as to what Tessa would do with Charlotte’s story. And she didn’t disappoint. I love Charlotte’s spirit and passion. This book is fun spirited and sexy."
