About the Book
Ellis Dangerfield has recently learned her life is a lie. She wants nothing more than to start afresh, so she applies for a position as secretary to a demanding, widowed marquess. Never mind that she has to pose as a man to get the job. Ellis is hiding far worse secrets.
After losing his wife—and, perhaps more gutting, learning of her unfaithfulness—Roman Garrick has sworn off human connection. To avoid his pain and grief, he’s buried himself in rebuilding his family’s ruined fortunes. His brilliant new secretary is refreshingly focused and dedicated and, best of all, pays no mind to his dark moods.
Faced with an unwanted and dangerous attraction, Roman and Ellis struggle to maintain their professional relationship while also trying to resist their desires. Neither is willing to compromise the vows they’ve made to remain emotionally aloof. And when the truth of Ellis’s family explodes into Society, they must decide if exposing their hearts to each other is worth the risk.
