One man with a secret. A family torn apart by the consequences.

Olivia, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Rennington, has had a difficult year. Denied her first season in town by the illness of her grandmother, there was worse to come — her uncle, the chaplain, was brutally murdered. The discovery that he was not even an ordained clergyman means that her parents’ marriage is void, and she and all her siblings are illegitimate. But Olivia has a plan — she intends to outdo her older sister Izzy and marry a duke, and she knows just the man. She’s been following his exploits for years. All she has to do is to meet him…

Robert Osborn was once passionately in love with Izzy but when she chose another man, he lapsed gratefully back into his unfettered life as a man of leisure. But when he unexpectedly becomes the Earl of Kiltarlity, he is weighed down with obligations and responsibilities — where is the fun in that? He is astonished to meet Olivia — the very image of her older sister, and what is more, she has no trouble advising him on his new duties. But is his growing admiration simply because she reminds him of Izzy? And can he deter her from her ambition to be a duchess?

Captain Michael Edgerton has been doggedly pursuing the chaplain’s murderer for months. Now, with more violence complicating the situation, he has one last throw of the dice to unravel the identity and motive of the killer.

This is a complete story with a happy ever after, but best heard after the previous audiobooks in the series. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Book 6 of a 6 book series.
