As a viscounts daughter, vivacious Coralee Whitmore is perfectly placed to write about Londons elite in the outspoken ladies gazette, Heart to Heart. But beneath her fashionable exterior beats the heart of a serious journalist. So when her sisters death is dismissed as suicide, Corrie vows to uncover the truth, suspecting the notorious Earl of Tremaine was Laurels lover and the father of her illegitimate child. Corrie infiltrates Castle Tremaine posing as a wide-eyed country relation whose charming figure— and reduced circumstances—make her irresistible to the confirmed scoundrel. But Corrie finds the earl is not all he seems…nor is she immune to his charms, however much she despises his caddish ways. Far from a society column, Corries life soon reads more like one of Mr. Dickenss serials. But the danger of her ruse is hardly fictional: someone is bent on ensuring Corries questions go unanswered—and unasked.
