One Wicked Secret (Tales from The Burnished Jade)

By Adele Clee

Two shillings bought her hand. Only love can claim her heart.

When Elsa Dalton discovers her estranged husband purchased her hand for a paltry two shillings, she resolves to reclaim her life. Hurt and betrayed, she visits London to confront the man who abandoned her on their wedding night. But seeing him again ignites a passion she thought had waned, and her quest for the truth challenges everything she believes about the infuriating rogue.

Daniel Dalton has spent six months shielding his wife from a scandal. She has no idea she's a suspect in a crime. Despite hiding her away to keep her safe, Elsa appears at a London ball, demanding answers. Now, Daniel must choose between keeping secrets or facing the feelings he's buried. But as the lines between duty and desire blur, he fears his silence has already cost him everything.
