She's not quite a servant, and not quite nobility. When he meets Ella, he realizes covering up his growing feelings for her may be harder to hide than the fact he's not really a duke. Only by unmasking his past can he unleash his love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did she end up make-believe married to the Grump Next Door? Spinster scientist Felicity Montrose has always been as curious as one of her pet cats. So when her dark and dangerous neighbor catches her breaking into his house, her body's reactions to his manhandling raises all sorts of interesting questions. Unfortunately, the irritating man refuses to help her in her experiments to replicate these titillating sensations. Blast. Griffin Calderbank is well aware that his enticing next-door neighbor is a lady, and thus so far off-limits she might as well be in Scotland. A man like him, a man who spent years fighting for his life and surviving with his fists, needs to focus on keeping his family safe. She's a dangerous distraction he can't afford, no matter how tantalizing her offer might be. His hands-off policy is working well, right up until their children enter them into a contest to give him a chance at the inheritance long denied him. The only catch? He'll have to pretend to be a happy husband to the odd, but oh-so-tempting Miss Montrose. And this time, when she makes him a scandalous bargain, there's no point in refusing. After all, she is his wife, right? For a short time at least. Soon, however, it's not just a dukedom on the line, but the very future of the country, as a hunt for a traitor turns deadly. How can he be expected to concentrate on such stakes when there's a brilliant, quirky scientist in his bed, offering him her cooperation in exchange for satisfying her...curiosity? Warning: If sinful bargains, nerdy heroines and gruff heroes aren't your thing, you're in the wrong place. This one is smoking-hot, full of fun characters (and possibly too many felines), and laugh-out-loud hilarious. Promise!

Book excerpt: Who would suspect antiquarian bookseller Georgia Fenchurch of leading a double life—as a private investigator for the clandestine Archivist Society in Victorian London? When England’s national security is compromised, Georgia must pose as a titled lady to root out a spy... A cousin of Georgia’s dear friend, Lady Phyllida Monthalf, is brutally murdered in her home during the theft of blueprints of a new battleship designed by her husband—who now stands accused of her murder…and treason. The Duke of Blackford, in service to Whitehall, enlists Georgia and the Archivist Society to assist in the investigation. Playing the part of the duke’s new paramour, Georgia gains entry into the upper echelons of London’s elite, where amidst elegant dinners and elaborate parties a master spy schemes to lay hands on the stolen plans. The duke is no stranger to the world of international espionage, but Georgia is out of her element in more ways than one. She must not allow her genuine attraction to the duke—or her obsession with finding her parents’ killer—to distract her from her role. But when a mysterious stranger threatens to expose her, the counterfeit lady may be in real trouble...
