On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler did it.
All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue.
But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit . . . and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth about his dark past. Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte’s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who’s sworn to never love?

The one star is not for the story but the performance. I’ve stopped listening as it seems to be narrated by a robot? The melody of the voice would be suitable for the news, but not for a story, and certainly not one like this. It’s as if someone is just summing up sentence after sentence without any involvement or emotion, which is something this book deserves.

Ik hou van de verhalen van Tessa Dare, maar helaas moet ik deze missen want ik erger me teveel aan de voorlees stem.

Vermakelijk. Vlot lezend. Soms wat te traag.

Basis idee was wel leuk. Toch vond ik het ‘meh’, maar dat kan komen door de super saaie voorleesstem

A good relationship with a really cute dynamic, communication between the leads (gasp) and great consent. Of course it still has the lead with daddy issues and "I'M a ManLy MaN I ShAll ProViDe And BreeDDdD ahhhh" but despite that it was pretty good. I think it's too bad that Tessa Dare (and many other historical romance writers) in their books write basically no important character relations other than between the love interest. Like with her best friend. We never get a satisfying resolution, or any information about their trip around the world which was a mayor motivator for the MC. Anything that doesn't lead to the MC's having sex is dropped. And too bad.

Loved the story. And the voice that spoke the story
