About this eBook

"Un-put-downable... This may be Harrington's best yet." —Publisher's Weekly STARRED Review

For fans of Grace Burrowes, Sarah Maclean, and Bridgerton, USA Today bestselling author Anna Harrington brings you a sexy feminist historical romance with:

  • An unapologetic rake attempting to cover up his past
  • A rule-following heroine unafraid to speak her mind
  • Thrilling action and mystery
  • Passionate attraction that overrides their deepest resistance

Notorious rake Alexander Sinclair, Earl of St James, takes pride in displaying his sins. When he's tasked by the Home Office with finding the men who attempted to assassinate the prime minister, his hunt leads him to Olivia Everett, a most proper schoolmistress who wants nothing to do with a profligate nobleman like him.

Unknown to her, Olivia's brother Henry has been working with the revolutionary group planning to overthrow the government. Shocked and hoping to save her brother, Olivia agrees to help the persuasive earl. But the closer they get to uncovering the villains, the more Alec and Olivia will need to trust each other.

Praise for Anna Harrington:

"As steamy as it is luscious. My favorite kind of historical!"—Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author, for Dukes Are Forever

"A touching and tempestuous romance, with all the ingredients Regency fans adore."—Gaelen Foley, New York Times bestselling author, for Dukes Are Forever

"Harrington is a rising star...plenty of both love and danger."—Booklist STARRED Review for An Inconvenient Duke

I thought that this was a very enjoyable read. The storyline was sharp and clever, the writing well done and the chemistry irresistible. Witty banter and electric sparks heavily pepper every single interaction that Olivia and Alec share. I really liked Olivia and I thought Alec was OK. The blend of drama, emotion, mystery and suspense captured and maintained my attention and interest easily. In all this was another very good entry in this very fun series. I am posting an unbiased, unsolicited review.

Olivia and her brother run the girls school in London opened by their late father. She's dedicated to not only educating girls from the upper and middle classes, but also helping scholarship students escape poverty. But her brother's financial dealings threaten the school's survival. Worse, agent Lord Alexander Sinclair suspects her brother may be involved in a plot to overthrow the government. Alec doesn't want to believe Olivia could be part of the scheme, but he can't give her his heart until he's sure. Can he uncover the truth and protect her from danger? This romantic suspense has likeable characters, an intriguing plot, and a steamy love story. This was the first book I read in the series, but I didn't feel like I missed anything integral to the story. I look forward to reading the rest of the series! Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
