Miss Mina Penny had it all planned out. Kiss the secret spy employed by her over-protective Uncle. Convince him to marry her, live exciting life of intrigue and travel, finally free of the walls that have held her confined her entire life.

What Mina's plan wasn't counting on was the spy's oldest brother being so handsome. So intriguing. So totally not for her but so totally the one she wants.

Reclusive Rafe Bentley only wanted to find a wife suitable to live with him on his remote estate. One who wouldn't blanch its' crumbling walls, its desolation. He wasn't planning on finding sunny Mina or falling for this woman who wants anything but the life he can offer.

As Mina and Rafe find they have more in common than they could ever hope, they also work to uncover who killed Mina's parents all those years ago.

Totally swoon-worthy with a perfect cover for the story, this is Bell at her finest since FOR THE DUKE'S EYES ONLY (you'll see some familiar characters but this story does stand-alone).

I received a free copy in exchange for a fair review!
