An Earl finds himself in a battle of wits with an anonymous Scotsman—and battling his own passion for a mysterious beauty—in this “deftly crafted Regency” (Booklist).
David Lansdale, Earl of Treybourne, was not going to lose a public argument with a petty, scribbling journalist. So he headed for Edinburgh, disguising himself as plain Mr. Archer, eager to discover the anonymous writer and expose him for the fraud he undoubtably was. A flawless plan, until David found himself distracted by the beautiful Miss Anna Fairchild.
A bluestocking long on the shelf, Anna had no desire for a husband. But she felt a strange kinship with the dashing—and enigmatic—gentleman from London. With secrets to hide herself, Anna was playing a dangerous game that could threaten their tenuous bond. Caught between deception and desire, it will take all their wit to see love flourish.
