"Burrowes is an unconventional storyteller who knows exactly how to touch a reader's heart and reach deep into the soul."—RT Book Reviews Lady Maggie Windham Has Secrets And she's been perfectly capable of keeping them...until now. When she's threatened with exposure, she turns to investigator Benjamin Hazlit to keep catastrophe at bay. But Maggie herself intrigues Benjamin more than the riddle she's set him to solve. As he uncovers more and more of her past, Maggie struggles to keep him at a distance, until they both begin to discover the truth in their hearts...

I really enjoy Grace Burrowes writing style. This book had things I liked: I liked Maggie and Ben. I liked that Maggie was smart and built her own fortune. Of course it also had things I didn't and they were enough to keep this from being a 4-5 star read. This is my last favorite of the Windham...
I liked Maggie a lot, which put this book a notch above the sisters' stories.See my review of the series at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/240638362.
2 ½ StarsThis book was a 3 ½ Stars until the last scene, when it lost 1 star for something Maggie did/said. I can't say more without giving spoilers away.
Enjoyable but didn't hold my attention like the other books in this series have.
