A Shadowed Charade

About the book

His duty was to protect her, but he knew that falling for her was a risk he couldn’t afford - although he couldn’t resist.

Lady Melody Lockwood is tasked with deciphering enemy codes from the safety of her home. It is a safe and predictable job, allowing her to feel like she is doing more than what is expected of a lady in High Society. However, when a leak at the agency suggests that her cover may have been blown, she faces a danger she never expected.

Wesley Ainsworth, the Earl of Emberly, is entrusted with the responsibility of protecting Lady Melody, a duty he takes very seriously - even when she insists that she doesn’t need his help. Having already lost one agent under his watch, he is determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

As the threat looms closer, Wesley and Melody are forced to collaborate in order to uncover the culprit that is lurking in the shadows of Brockhall Manor. Their partnership tests their ability to balance duty with the desires of their hearts. Will they solve the mystery in time, or will their guarded hearts prevent them from working together and finding the love they both deserve?
