Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Love is hottest in the darkness before dawn. Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man? Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he’s tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society’s most harmless—and idiotic—bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon—and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives—can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won’t be denied?

Elissande just wants to get her and herself out of her uncle’s home. Lord Vere is investigating Elissande’s uncle while holding behind his idiotic guise. But then he gets snared into marring Elissande. As the story moves forward you find that there is so much more going on then what is first seen. I loved this book for that. I liked how just when you think the story is going to go one way it turns on its ear. Vere for all his intelligence is rather dumb in matters of his own heart. I can’t wait to see what is next for Sherry Thomas as I really love her writing.

Let me know what your thoughts are.
