About this ebook

A disgraced debutante goes on the run with a duke in disguise in this irresistible second-chance romance by USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Vasti.

Fordham Wyckerly, Duke of Thorncrosse and occasional spy, resents the very notion of hijinks. But when a dangerous political plot surfaces at a suspicious Cornish manor, Ford reluctantly agrees to go undercover. Posing as a bohemian artist on holiday isn’t his favorite plan—but if necessary, he’ll pick up a paintbrush and think of England.

When Ford arrives in Cornwall, however, he’s stunned to discover Lady Alice Eppington, the bewitching entomologist he met, kissed, and never forgot . . . because he ruined her life the very next day.

Lady Alice was once Society’s Diamond—until her father’s connection to treason was revealed by the Duke of Thorncrosse, and she fled London in disgrace. When the forbidding duke appears on her doorstep, Alice’s first instinct is to put man-eating beetles in his boots. But when she uncovers Ford’s secret mission, she makes a deal with him instead: she’ll aid his investigation if he agrees to clear her father’s name.

In Cornish caves and glittering ballrooms, assassins lurk in the shadows—and the heat between the brooding duke and the brilliant entomologist threatens to melt even the iciest heart. Undercover and on the run, Alice and Ford will have to face their worst nightmare: falling in love all over again.
