When you give a lady an intrigue, she's going to uncover a scandal ... Charlotte Deeping is bored to tears now that she's back home after her first London season. She misses solving local intrigues with her friends, but they've all gone off and gotten married. Then Laurence Lindley, the Marquess of Glendarvon, comes for a visit and drops a mystery right into her lap. Charlotte's brother makes her promise not to interrogate the quiet nobleman. But that only means she'll have to find more subtle ways to learn about the mysterious marquess and his past. The more time they spend together, the closer Charlotte gets to finding answers ... and to Laurence. That is, until Charlotte's digging rouses an old vendetta that threatens his life.
