One Secret Away From Ruin

Joanna (Romance fiction writer) Johnson

An emotional, slow-burn Regency tale laden with secrets—and scandal! Trusting him means...

Risking a scandal!

Alicia Sanderson is keeping a secret that could ruin her family. She’s harbouring both her sister and her sister’s illegitimate daughter...and their dastardly brother can never find out. So when Alicia is caught by handsome Colonel Brook Beaumont, she pretends the child is hers!

After being honourably discharged from the army, injured Brook is struggling to find his place in Society. Helping Alicia find the child’s father is a welcome distraction. But, believing that Alicia still loves the man, Brook hides his growing attraction to her. As the secrets between them mount...can the truth of their desire win out?
