The Viscount Without Virtue (The Prestons #1)
Katherine Grant

Disguised as a carpenter, he gets himself hired so he can learn Northfield’s secret ins and outs. A few things quickly go wrong with his plan:
1. He doesn’t bring his own tools
2. No one is willing to speak ill of the Prestons
3. He keeps accidentally flirting with Miss Ellen Preston
Nevertheless, Max is determined to persevere. Even if it means betraying the trust of lovely and kind Ellen.
