Marina and an Earl

A Mystery-Laced Regency Romance-A Lady in Disguise, an Earl in Danger of Falling (Somersley Book 2)

Secrets, Seduction, and a Dangerous Game of Deceit

Marina Bexley has devoured mystery novels her whole life, now she’s about to live one.
Desperate to protect a family friend wronged by the powerful Duke of Averganst, and equally desperate to escape her father’s plans to marry her off, Marina agrees to infiltrate the duke’s glittering estate under a false identity.

Disguised as a lady’s maid to her best friend, Lady Hortense Davenport, Marina slips into Highgate House determined to uncover the truth and expose the duke’s corruption. But her mission becomes far more complicated when she collides with the one man she cannot fool, Benedict Hawthorne, the brooding Earl of Taunton.

Benedict arrives seeking financial salvation for his failing estate, but the duke’s shocking ultimatum, marry Lady Hortense or lose everything, throws him into turmoil. Then he recognizes the captivating “maid” who cannot seem to stay out of trouble... and who looks alarmingly like the daughter of the man who ruined his family.

Torn between loyalty and desire, suspicion and longing, Benedict must decide whether Marina is his enemy… or the only woman who can save him.

As deceit deepens and passion flares, one truth becomes impossible to deny:
When a lady in disguise meets an earl in danger of falling, their hearts stand to lose far more than their secrets.

Escape into a sweeping Clean Sweet Regency romance filled with high stakes, forbidden attraction, and a love bold enough to upend everything they thought they knew.

Loved It

I have enjoyed reading the book. Once I find a great historical/regency romance author, I try to read as many of their books as I can.
