Kate Reading's seductive narration masterfully portrays a heated game of deception between an undercover investigator and London's most scandalous gentlemen. Bishop has made it his business to help women procure divorces. He is a deeply principled man until an unusual servant, Daisy, captures his attention. Reading's deep, gravelly voice is filled with restraint as Bishop fights his attraction to the woman he quickly realizes is a spy. Reading's clipped, serious tone is well suited for Daisy, a young upstart investigator who prides herself on being a working woman. The resolve in Reading's voice waivers as Daisy's desire for Bishop becomes impossible to resist. Reading's sharp and alluring narration will pull listeners into the unexpected danger and intrigue that surrounds this passionate affair. J.E.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine

Born into an aristocratic family, yearning for a life beyond Society's strictures, Marguerite “Daisy” Townsend is an enterprising sleuth. Hired to obtain proof of a wife's infidelity, she secures a position in the household of the woman's lover, never expecting to be lured into the seductive blackguard's arms herself.
Devilishly handsome, David Blackwood, known widely as Bishop, quickly realizes the enticing maid is interested in far more than dusting. She aims to uncover his sins. Although tempted by the dangerous beauty, he can't risk her learning the truth: his affairs are chaste. As a boy who witnessed his mother's abusive relationship, Bishop now helps desperate wives escape unhappy marriages.
Yet when he is accused of murdering the husband of a “paramour,” he is forced to seek Daisy's assistance in proving his innocence. As their perilous search draws them into a web of deceits, they can no longer deny their simmering desire. Once secrets are revealed, will Daisy's counterfeit scoundrel give up the scandalous games he plays and surrender his heart into her keeping?
