* FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED**
Charlton Edgeworth, Viscount Pendholm, returned from war to discover that his late brother had left him an inheritance of scandal. In the midst of dealing with that, he is called upon to serve his country further, undercover, to thwart a conspiracy instigated by a French spy. Between scandal and spying, there are days when he feels as if the war isn’t over....

Lady Odette Marmont, beautiful daughter of a French aristocrat and an English Lady, has been raised by her aunt since her mother’s death, and would prefer a book in a quiet library to a society Ball. But her aunt insists that, at 22, it is time she married, so, although disturbed by how changed her father is, since he returned from France, she steels herself to brave the Season.

But Lady Odette's father has attitudes and interests which bring him into conflict with everything that Charlton and his friends hold dear - and Lady Odette is caught in the middle.

Can Charlton and Odette find a way to explore their growing attraction, or will the tangle of scandal and treason tear them apart?
**

Such a fabulous book. Charlton was a wonderful hero. He returned from the war and immediately had to begin cleaning up the mess his now deceased brother had made of things. He was a true gentleman, inside and out. His nightly conversations with his mother really endeared me to him.
Odette was such a sweet, trusting and innocent heroine. She was smart, beautiful and not as interested in marriage as those around her.
Her trust in others almost ruins a budding relationship.
The primary characters in this book are marvelous, but so are the secondary characters. There are so many more stories to be told.
While it is not necessary to read the first book in this series to enjoy this one, it helps introduce many of the characters.
I highly recommend this book as well as all others by Arietta Richmond, who is one of my favorite authors.

Arietta Richmond has been a compulsive reader and writer all her life. Whilst her reading has covered an enormous range of topics, history has always fascinated her, and historical novels have been amongst her favourite reading.
She has written a wide range of work, from business articles and other non-fiction works (published under a pen name) but fiction has always been a major part of her life. Now, her Regency Historical Romance books are finally being released. The Derbyshire Set is comprised of 10 shorter novels (6 released so far). The ‘His Majesty’s Hounds’ series is comprised of 7 novels, with the second having just been released.
She also has a standalone longer novel shortly to be released, and two other series of novels in development.
She lives in Australia, and when not reading or writing, likes to travel, and to see in person the places where history happened.
