Now she and her two best friends investigate London’s most scandalous crimes, and while Tess longs to experience physical pleasure for herself, she can’t risk losing her treasured independence... Cynical shipping magnate Justin Thornton never expected to inherit a dukedom, but he’ll do his duty. When the ravishing woman he kissed at a party turns out to be the Dowager Duchess, Justin sees an obvious solution: a marriage of convenience that will suit them both. But the passion that sparks between them is anything but convenient. As Tess works on a new case at the request of Queen Charlotte, her increasingly suspicious behavior makes Justin question her motives—and her past. The infuriating woman clearly can’t be trusted, but Justin doesn’t believe in love, so there’s absolutely no danger of him falling for his own wife...is there?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Nobility $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Romance fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 800 1 $a Bateman, Kate. $t Her majesty's rebels. 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012221.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20240305041609.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240302010657.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240206010608.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FD333C8BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
