A lady in waiting
Phillipa Carstairs is absolutely lovely--so everyone has said since the hour she entered the world. Any gentleman would thrill to make her his bride, yet Pippa is all alone, waiting for a fiance who disappeared many months ago. She's long forgotten why she loved him, and she's nearly given up hope.
A man of action
At first glance, Maxwell, Lord Montrose, is nothing but a dandy--albeit a well-chiseled, irresistibly handsome one But his foppish demeanor hides a keen mind and a steely resolve. A spy for the Crown who knows absolutely everyone, he's the only one who can help Pippa find her missing fiance.
An irresistible desire
Crossing England on the trail of the elusive husband-to-be, Maxwell and Pippa have the best of intentions. But a simmering attraction builds in close quarters . . . with a sinful passion that will be impossible to deny.
