Lillian and Marius might be just what the other has always needed, but will Marius’s secret spying lead to the destruction of their blossoming relationship? This was a cute novella set in the Rooksgrave Manor series that can definitely be read as a standalone. I adored the relationship between them and how caring they were for each other. Seriously, they were so precious.
