Wicked in White

Sweeping Regency-era romance, unique, independent heroines, and a hint of adventure combine in the latest in the acclaimed Muses’ Salon series by Rachael Miles, who uses her expertise as a professor of historical literature to bring depth and vivid detail to a beautifully crafted love story.
 
 Cecily, Duchess of Routhe, isn’t quite sure what she wants the next phase of her life to be, but she is determined it won’t be conventional. Returning to London after a decade traveling abroad, she decides to solve a puzzle left behind by her brother, a noted antiquarian, and locate a rare treasure. She even knows just the man to help her . . .
 
Simon Worsham, MP, followed his ambitions into politics and has few regrets—except, perhaps, turning Cecily down when she offered herself to him years ago. She was far too young, and his best friend’s sister to boot. Yet something about their not-so-innocent kiss haunts him still. Now, working alongside the lovely widow confirms that their spark hasn’t abated. And as their quest dovetails with a dangerous mission to free an innocent man, Simon knows he cannot lose this second chance with Cecily, no matter how great the peril . . .
