Publisher Description
From Award Winning Author Cassandra Dean comes the next in her Silk Series where a plea from the captivating woman he never forgot draws a grumpy and infamous investigator to the wilds of Yorkshire to solve a murder and maybe fall in love…
Secretary to Lady Caroline Faringdon, Miss Rose Webster is far removed from the girl who once served ale in her father's Cambridge pub. When her employer's fiancé is murdered, Rose implores assistance from the infamous inquiry agent, Nathaniel Evans. Forever ago, she knew him as a student who frequented her father's pub, and perhaps that connection will draw him to Yorkshire to find the culprit…while the desperate infatuation she held for the handsome investigator will have surely faded with time.
The Honourable Nathaniel Evans doesn't know why he has come to Yorkshire. He barely remembers the shy, captivating, funny girl from his university days, and he certainly shouldn't have dropped everything to respond to her summons. But the Rose in his memory is far removed from the Rose he discovers. A man ruled by reason and logic, the feelings the beautiful secretary stirs are anything but rational and he can't be distracted by the shape of her mouth or the green of her eyes.
Forced together, Rose and Nathaniel work to capture the villain while fighting the passion that sparks between them. But will they discover the connection they have found lasts as long as the investigation or will they discover a love for all time?
Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Mary Balogh, Cassandra Dean's Silk Series explores those who love the law in Victorian England.

Rose met Nathaniel when he was in university and she worked in her father’s tavern. Rose is intelligent and has worked to better her life and is now educated, well spoken, employed as secretary to an influential woman. Nathaniel is a quite successful and famous inquiry agent. When he arrives, at Rose’s request, to investigate the suspicious death of Lady Caroline’s fiancée, he finds a Rose different from the shy girl he knew in university. The story is charming and engaging. There is definitely a connection between Nathaniel and Rose. It may have started when they first met years ago. In tandem with their romance, Rose assists Nathaniel in his investigation, trying to determine if George was murdered, and if so, who did it and why. I enjoyed the story, and I liked Nathaniel and Rose. The letters at the beginning and end are wonderful pieces of the story.
I received an ARC of this book via Book Sprout and voluntarily reviewed it.
