    About this ebook

    From USA Today bestselling author Jade Lee comes an original Regency novella that serves as a prequel to What the Groom Wants.


    Caroline Lyncott, great granddaughter of the Duke of Bucklynde, has a secret. Years ago she was attacked and still bears the terrible scars. To escape the scandal and the reminders, she left everything behind to become housekeeper to a Scottish brother and sister.


    Gregory Murray, the Earl Of Hartfell, has a secret as well—he harbors a deep attraction to his housekeeper, Mrs. Lyncott. He knows she has a past, but doesn't know how to fix the pain that still haunts her. His investigation leads him to the darkest London gaming hell and a villain too powerful to destroy.


    Can his love overcome her desperate past? Can she risk her heart despite the evil that still haunts her nightmares?

    Jade Lee

    Jade Lee, a USA Today bestseller, has two passions (well, except for her family, but that's a given). She loves dreaming up stories and playing racquetball, not always in that order. When her pro-racquetball career ended with a pair of very bad knees, she turned her attention to writing. An author of more than 30 romance novels, she's decided that life can be full of joy without ever getting up from her chair.
