The Wallflower's Secret War - Paperback

A secret political cartoonist risks ruin when she falls for the dangerously handsome marquess she's been skewering in ink.

A rebellious wallflower.

Lady Beatrix Winslow is a wallflower by choice-and a revolutionary by necessity. While Society sees a duke's beautiful, stubbornly unmarried daughter, Bea leads a secret double life as B. Adroit, the anonymous political cartoonist mercilessly skewering Parliament's most powerful men. Every sketch risks discovery, disgrace, and ruin. The last thing she can afford is scrutiny...especially from the man she most enjoys humiliating in ink.

A dangerously seductive political heir.

Nicholas Archer, Marquess of Vanover, is brilliant, controlled, and infuriatingly handsome-a master strategist groomed for political greatness. Playing the long game has always been his strength, and courting Lady Beatrix should be nothing more than a calculated alliance. But Bea's sharp tongue, fierce intelligence, and barely restrained defiance awaken something far more dangerous than desire: the need to unravel her defenses until she wants him as much as he wants her.

A forced courtship that could expose her secrets...or ignite a scandal neither of them can survive.

As their reluctant courtship turns into a battle of wills, stolen glances, and forbidden tension, Bea's secret life edges closer to exposure-and Nicholas must choose between securing his future or claiming the one woman capable of undoing him. Because when a wallflower goes to war, love isn't just a risk. It's the most dangerous rebellion of all.
