| Summary |
Perfect for fans of the smash-hit Netflix series Bridgerton ! "A clever mystery adds intrigue to this lively and gently humorous tale, which simmers with well-handled sexual tension." -- Library Journal As an American, Eleanor has always been looked down on by London society, considered too strident and opinionated to fit in with the ton. Now, at the death of her husband, she has been appointed trustee to his estate, and his family is furious. In a rage, her mother-in-law sends Lord Anthony Neale to put an end to Eleanor's seemingly gold-digging ways. Anthony and Eleanor clash immediately. He thinks she's a siren who uses beauty to entrap men. She thinks he's a haughty, cold English snob. Despite their initial misgivings, they are increasingly drawn to each other. But then someone begins threatening Eleanor. As the break-ins and other malicious activities continue, it's Anthony who tops the list of probable suspects. Could Anthony be hiding a more nefarious agenda? Or has Eleanor misjudged him completely? |
