A woman cast out of the only home she's ever known finds herself the new ward of a darkly handsome duke, and caught up in a dangerous mystery.At the deathbed wish of the man who'd raised her as his child, Meredith Montague travels to London in hopes that the man's nephew, the Duke of Tiverton, can help her navigate the London season and find a husband. But when she collides—literally—with Tiverton and is spellbound by him, she fears that the man in charge of her destiny might be a danger to her virtue and her heart. Things only get more complicated when she witnesses a murder, and the only person who believes her is Tiverton.The last thing Darius St. John, the Duke of Tiverton, needs is a pretty young lady underfoot — especially a lady he is duty bound not to seduce, thanks to his late uncle's request that Darius take Meredith as his ward and find her a husband. If keeping his hands off his beautiful ward wasn't hard enough, he finds himself in close quarters with her as they work together to solve a murder and catch the killer before he can get away. Will his desire for Meredith put her life in more danger? Or will surrendering to his heart be the best way to keep them both safe? Heat Level: Hot
