Angol
A secret admirer, a stolen kiss, and a villain who always collects what he's owed...
Lady Ophelia Fairburn has never had the luxury of believing in the kind of man poets write about. Guarded, sharp-tongued, and with her family's reputation already on thin ice, she cannot afford the kind of mistake that ends a girl's prospects entirely. Then a mysterious voice begins appearing at her balcony window, and everything she thought she knew about herself starts to unravel.
Lord Cyrus Brandt has spent years indebted to the charming and ruthless Mallory, a man who takes whatever he wants and calls it a favor. Hiding behind anonymity was only supposed to be temporary. But the longer Cyrus speaks with Ophelia, stealing moments in shadowed ballrooms and moonlit balconies, the harder it becomes to stay silent.
When a masquerade ball brings everything to a head, Ophelia finds herself engaged to the wrong man, and the one who truly loves her is nowhere to be found. With her family's future at stake and a villain who knows exactly where to press, she must decide whether she has the courage to trust her own heart. And Cyrus must decide whether love is worth defying the man who holds his darkest secret.
A closed-door Regency romance and the second book in the Ladies Betrayed series, where each story stands alone.
