Loving a Charmer

Lord Malcolm Thornton is probably the only man attending Queen Victoria's Winter Festival not looking for romance. His life as an agent for the crown is far too busy for women, much less a wife. He simply can't afford the distraction. But... when he finds himself stealing kisses with the charming and irresistible Miss Lizzie, he finds himself very distracted indeed. He cannot get her out of his mind. Unfortunately, she is the suspected French spy he's been searching for. As he works to get close to her, a forbidden friendship begins to bud, and he isn't looking forward to exposing her for the treasonous liar he knows her to be.

Miss Elizabeth Benson has had enough of lying men stomping on her heart. Did no man exist who could be honest? One evening, when a handsome stranger came across her crying and tenderly took her into his arms, she believed she'd finally found the one. Unfortunately, his interest in befriending her seemed to involve some very strange questions and behavior. Yet again, like so many men before Lord Malcolm, she begins to doubt his intentions and honesty. She's ready to be done with the lying lot of men altogether.

Can Lizzie and Malcolm find happiness at Queen Victoria's Winter Festival? This event will either bring them together - or ruin their lives forever...
