Adam - Sydney Jane Baily

The heir to an earldom needs a suitable wife, but he falls arse-over-elbows for a governess with a shadowy past.

Dark-haired and wickedly handsome, Lord Diamond leads a charmed life, touted as the best thing since frothy syllabub. Every young lady in London wants his leg shackled to hers.

Keeping her former identity hidden is crucial to staying alive. What does she care if she is living a lie?

While Adam pursues Alice to be his mistress-anything more is unthinkable-only two options remain for her . . . ignore his impossibly tempting amorous advances or flee for her life! Will pride, prejudice, and secrets keep these two from their happy ending?
