Silk & Scarlet: An Early Victorian Sweet Romance

Secretary to Lady Caroline Faringdon, Miss Rose Webster is far removed from the girl who once served ale in her father's Cambridge pub. When her employer’s fiancé is murdered, Rose implores assistance from the infamous inquiry agent, Nathaniel Evans. Forever ago, she knew him as a student who frequented her father’s pub, and perhaps that connection will draw him to Yorkshire to find the culprit…while the desperate infatuation she held for the handsome investigator will have surely faded with time.

The Honourable Nathaniel Evans doesn’t know why he has come to Yorkshire. He barely remembers the shy, captivating, funny girl from his university days, and he certainly shouldn’t have dropped everything to respond to her summons. But the Rose in his memory is far removed from the Rose he discovers. A man ruled by reason and logic, the feelings the beautiful secretary stirs are anything but rational and he can’t be distracted by the shape of her mouth or the green of her eyes.

Forced together, Rose and Nathaniel work to capture the villain while fighting the passion that sparks between them. But will they discover the connection they have found lasts as long as the investigation or will they discover a love for all time?

Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Mary Balogh, Cassandra Dean's Silk Series explores those who love the law in Victorian England.
