Lady Lucy Chance is on a mission—earl’s daughter notwithstanding, she is going to change Britain’s justice system forever.
Which is why she’s protesting in a court room. What she hasn’t expected is for the judge to give her personal custody of her own criminal—a Mr. Bernard Dixon who’s too charming for his own good and surely a bounder to boot.
In fact, Mr. Bernard Dixon is no criminal—he’s a spy infiltrating Britain’s prisons to gain information for his handler Hovell, who inexplicably hasn’t arrived to save him. But that’s fine, because now he’s living with the Earl of Lindow and his remarkably beautiful daughter.
All Lucy has to do is reform the ‘criminal’ into a polite member of Society, and not fall in love with Bernard. All Bernard has to do is not let slip that he’s a spy, and not fall in love with Lucy.
But as passions rise and secrets become mingled with half-truths, danger comes to Lucy’s door and Bernard has to make a choice between facing his past, and revealing that he might just be in love with her after all…
