Two brothers with very different needs. One wealthy beauty with a choice.
The bold, dashing Captain Archibald Broadbent courts Philippa with an audacious, debonaire determination. Her beauty and wit charm him. But he must win her to redeem his estate. He knows it will be easier to woo her in a less restrictive environment than the London season provides. So he needs his brother to host a house party.
The dour, secretive earl of Thornwood’s entire world changes when he meets his brother’s choice of a bride. He needs Philippa’s intelligence and insight to help him catch the assassins that threaten England’s stand against Revolutionary France. But he must resist her tantalizing appeal, for he made a vow to do nothing to injure his brother’s courtship.
The Honorable Miss Philippa Moreton attends the house party with a plan. In the most rational manner, she will choose one of her suitors to marry. But her host, Lord Thornwood, keeps distracting her with perplexing questions and fascinating puzzles. Danger looms when she becomes embroiled in his efforts to catch British traitors—and when she becomes entangled in the irrational demands of her heart.
