- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

"They both knew that a disgraced and fortuneless army captain would never be allowed within the hallowed confines of Almack's. He simply wasn't suitable marriage material for the virginal and welldowered daughters of earls and dukes, despite the fact that his ancestry was every bit as pedigreed as theirs."(***quote subject to change in finished copy***)

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Lady Evelyn Renshaw is married to England's most notorious traitor...
Or is she?
No one has seen Lord Philip alive for months. The Crown wants to hang him. The ton wants to know if Evelyn is as guilty as her husband, and Philip's enemies expect Evelyn to pay the price for her husband's sins.
Captain Sinjon Rutherford has troubles of his own. He needs a place to hide while he proves himself innocent of some very nasty charges. The Crown offers assistance, but only if Sinjon helps them uncover the truth about Evelyn's part in her husband's treason. He's planted as a spy in her household, disguised as a servant. But Sinjon is no footman...and he doesn't have time to fall in love with the enigmatic Evelyn, but the lady needs a strong protector, and a lover.
And it seems the lady has some dark secrets of her own, secrets that can get them both killed... (source)
