Meet Her Majestyâs Rebels: three brilliant women who run King Co., Londonâs most exclusive investigative agency âŚ
The wedding-night death of her much older husband left Tess Townsend the Dowager Duchess of Wansfordââand still a virgin. Now she and her two best friends investigate Londonâs most scandalous crimes, and while Tess longs to experience physical pleasure for herself, she canât risk losing her treasured independence âŚ
Cynical shipping magnate Justin Thornton never expected to inherit a dukedom, but heâll do his duty. When the ravishing woman he kissed at a party turns out to be the Dowager Duchess, Justin sees an obvious solution: a marriage of convenience that will suit them both.
But the passion that sparks between them is anything but convenient. As Tess works on a new case at the request of Queen Charlotte, her increasingly suspicious behavior makes Justin question her motivesââand her past. The infuriating woman clearly canât be trusted, but Justin doesnât believe in love, so thereâs absolutely no danger of him falling for his own wife ⌠is there?
