But the more he's thrown into the lady's company, the more he finds to admire. As secrets begin unravelling, Priscilla and Nathan become unlikely allies to protect the duke and each other, only to discover that some secrets, like love, were meant to be shared.

Regina Scott started writing novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, she didn't actually sell her first novel until she had learned a bit more about writing. Since her first Regency romance was published in 1998, her stories have traveled the globe, with translations in many languages including Dutch, German, Italian, and Portuguese. She is now the author of more than 50 works of warm, witty historical romance.

She and her husband of over 30 years live south of Tacoma, Washington, on the way to Mt. Rainier. She has driven four in hand, dressed like a Regency dandy, learned to fence, and sailed on a tall ship, all in the name of research, of course.
