A Dangerous Deb: Hidden Gems Historical Romance

By M. Culler

Ellen Archwood's debut ended in disaster last year when the notorious rake, Baron Bernard St. Charles, compromised her with a kiss and promises he never intended to keep. With her reputation on the line, Ellen is forced into a sickening scheme of collecting secrets from society's elites-an unwilling participant in his web of gambling and blackmail.

When St. Charles discovers Detective Inspector Sidney Waltham is close to uncovering where he runs his illicit dealings, he orders Ellen to pose as a woman below her station and get close to Waltham to throw him off the scent. With no choice but to obey, Ellen goes along with the plot and soon finds herself in a new sort of trouble.

Now, not only is she in danger of losing her reputation to a scheming baron, but she's also in danger of losing her heart to a poor but honorable detective. To expose St. Charles will lead to one kind of ruin, and to give her heart to Waltham will lead to another.

Will Ellen risk St. Charles' wrath to reveal the truth and capture one of London's most nefarious criminals, or must she play an even more dangerous game to protect herself and the man she loves?
