Lord Matthew Lyon, a mathematical genius and brother to the Duke of Mar, often takes on assignments for the Crown. His current assignment is to ferret out a treasonous plot and bring the culprits to justice. In pursuit of that goal, he went to the Lyons Den to become acquainted with the suspected traitor's son. Little did he know what was about to transpire and that he would leave betrothed to a suspected traitor's daughter.
Lady Daniella Haverfield, daughter of the Earl of Haverfield, lives with a monster who just happens to be her father – and perhaps a traitor. The only thing that makes it remotely bearable is that her brother Simon was also there. She adored him and would go to the ends of the earth to protect him. Unfortunately, that is exactly what she does. In trying to protect Simon she ends up disgraced, ruined, and betrothed all in the space of a few hours.
I really liked both Matthew and Daniella because they were both caring, giving, honorable, and loving people. I wasn't a fan of Simon even though the author tried to redeem him – I guess there just weren't enough pages for that. The story was exciting with betrayal, murder, and treachery as well as a heartwarming love story complete with an Epilogue.
I hope you'll give this quick, fast-paced story a try. If you want to try out new-to-you authors, this series has some good ones. The stories are all quick reads with lovely HEAs and plenty of excitement – and each book is by a different author. So – give the series a try and try out a new author.
