Book Description

A duke’s daughter in hiding. An ex-spy blinded by desire. Is it treason or true love?

Lady Lillian must abandon her decadent life to hide from her stepfather who wants to use her as the scapegoat for the ultimate sin against England.
Treason.
Her years of playing in the kitchen as a child has paid off and she’s found work as a cook’s assistant in the house of the Earl of Redwick, a man she’s never met in society. But her refuge is not as safe as it seems. When she finally meets the master of the house, she discovers the new Earl of Redwick could be a danger to her masquerade... and her heart.

As a second son, Dominic never expected to inherit, but now he must adapt to life as a gentleman of leisure, and he hates it. His days of spying for the crown are over, except for one last secret mission right here in London. Find the missing daughter of a duke and her traitor stepfather.

But Lady Lillian isn’t missing; she’s hiding right under his nose as his lovely new cook’s assistant. To bring her stepfather to justice, Dominic needs Lilly’s help. Can he resist temptation and keep his focus on the mission or will his growing attraction to Lilly put both their lives at risk?

About Dayna Quince

I was born and raised in Southern California where I currently live with my husband, our kids, and our crazy animals. I worked as a veterinary technician for over ten years but I have always been in love with romance novels. Being an author means so much more to me than just selling books. It means having the freedom to be home with my kids through every stage of their lives, no longer missing out on family events like birthdays and holidays due to work. Life is too short to spend it clocked in on someone elses time clock. Writing about falling in love is a true joy. I get to relive those feelings every time I read a book or write my own and it never gets old. For the first time I can see myself doing something for the rest of my life and being happy.

My Thoughts

This was my first book by this author and I must say I enjoyed it.

The pace was fast. Our hero and heroine go from employer and employee to lovers in less than a few chapters. 

I admit I would have liked it to slow down a bit and delve deeper into the characters. I felt there was so much more we could have learned about the hero Dominic. 

I would have also liked a little more back story on Lillie and her family. i would have also liked to learn more about how she got into the mess she was in. The story opens with her on the run so I would have liked to have learned more.

Overall I enjoyed reading it and I like the overall storyline presented. It was a quick read so everything went fast but enjoyable.
