Nor does he anticipate his own ardent attraction that makes him share his secret passions with her. Now Simon can't stop coveting his brother's fiancée.
When Miss Angelique Barstow agrees to an arranged marriage with her friend Robert, she doesn't appreciate the duke's interference. Nor does she welcome her own burning desire that makes her reveal her secret life to him. Now Angelique can't stop painting her fiancé's brother.
Simon and Angelique embark on a clandestine affair that leads to a love they no longer want to hide. But the truth will endanger the one person they both swore to protect, and the secrets that bound them together could tear them apart.

Read the final book in the acclaimed Harrow's Five series, stand-alone novels with no cliffhangers that can be read in any order.
I spent my early years longing to be an English countryside vet thanks to James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small series, and dreaming of being an adventurist archaeologist thanks to George Lucas’s Indiana Jones character. After studying veterinary pre-med and earning an anthropology degree, I realized my true passion is story in all its forms.
When I’m not writing, reading, or binge-watching stories, I’m often pursuing a physical challenge like training for a sprint triathlon or aspiring to achieve the perfect crow pose. I also spend my time drinking too much coffee, not enough red wine, and just the right amount of bourbon. I live in Maryland with my fabulous family, which includes some very spoiled rescue cats.
