Cheri Champagne: Secrets and Sin, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A person with secrets...

Miss Maria Roberts refuses to rely on a man to secure her future. It took eight years to build a second life for herself, and nothing was going to stop her from living it-most particularly not a man who'd broken her heart once before or his cousin hell-bent on destruction.

A man under pressure...

Since the threats on his life began, Jasper Sinclair, the Duke of Derby has been searching for his volatile cousin. But it's turned into an infuriating game of cat and mouse. After slipping the noose, his cousin was now alone in the world. And more dangerous than ever. It's become more than Jasper can handle, and he's out of resources. And time.

The threat continues...

Now, armed with her new position as a Bow Street runner and eager to take on her first solo case, Maria is pulled back into the life of the man responsible for her first heartbreak. With peril in constant pursuit, Maria and Jasper must learn to work together to find the duke's cousin before it's too late. Will they be able to put the past behind them in time to save themselves and find love?
