But her first marriage had ended in a scandalous divorce and the notoriety forced her to flee. Now Effie planned to publish her memoirs and half of London was turning pale with terror. Everyone wanted to buy her silence and suddenly she was being courted by the very people who had shunned her. As for Daphne, when she crossed swords with a certain young duke claiming she was blackmailing his family, she had no inkling of what was in store…

Work Description

Daphne Ingleside's visit to her Aunt Effie in London was meant to add a little spark to her placid country life. And it did—once the two women decided to write Effie's memoirs. For Effie, a faded divorcée, had been the beauty of London in her day, and many of the ton feared their misbehavior would be disclosed. The Duke of St. Felix, misinterpreting their project as a means of blackmailing his family, antagonized the sharp-witted, beautiful Daphne to his peril.
