Accepting the job of finding the earl of Brundage's missing fianc�e, Lady Aurelia Capet, will allow Christian to finally secure the evidence he needs to prove that the earl is guilty of treason against the British crown. However, when a badly wounded Christian turns up at the door of the Grand Palace on the Thames, Aurelia, who has checked in to the hotel as Mrs. Mary Gallagher, faces a real dilemma. Of course, Aurelia wants to help nurse Christian back to health, but the more time Aurelia spends with Christian, the closer he will get to the truth about who she really is. Each of the brilliantly written entries in Long's Palace of Rogues series, including After Dark with the Duke (2021), is a master class in how to successfully marry stunning sensuality with scintillating wit, and the fifth entry is no exception with its resplendent prose, impeccable plotting, and perfect-for-each-other protagonists.
