Lord Adrian Torrington is a wealthy land owner by day and a spy by
night. Out on a mission, he believes he's robbed the wrong carriage and sent it
crashing down the ravine. Inside he finds Elizabeth and her infant son. When he
hears another coach approaching, he must protect his identity as a spy and
proposes marriage to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is trying to support her young son
after being abandoned by the child's father. When Adrian proposes a marriage of
convenience, she sees no better alternative and agrees. His only stipulation is
that she must pretend to be madly in love with him. Can she fool everyone by
pretending or will she truly fall for the handsome lord?
This was the first book I've read by Ms. Wilson and I thoroughly enjoyed
it. The murder mystery was top notch and I didn't see the final piece of the
puzzle coming together until it was actually revealed. The author was masterful
in how she teased out details of both Elizabeth's past as well as Adrian's
first marriage. His daughters, Julianna and Phoebe added much to the story.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
