Eva Lyndale
In the thrilling second installment of The Ashford Deception Trilogy , Eliza Harrow and Nicholas Vale, Lord Ashford, find their tactical partnership tested as never before. Bound by a betrothal born of necessity to protect Eliza's brother, Edmund , the couple arrives at the imposing Langford Park. But the Ashford family estate is a fortress of polite cruelties, oppressive etiquette, and hidden treason. As they uncover a shadow network dealing in compromised naval signal codes , Eliza and Nicholas must navigate a house where every servant is a witness and every routine conceals a cipher.
When Nicholas's War Office handler, Sir Lionel Harcourt, tightens the noose and threatens Edmund , Nicholas makes a desperate, unilateral choice that fractures the foundation of their newly minted marriage. Framed by a forged seal for the very crimes he sought to expose, Nicholas is confined by the Crown and rendered helpless. Now, the new Viscountess Ashford must step into the glare of London society to fight for her husband's life—and decide if their vows are a cage, or her greatest weapon
Perfect for fans of historical romance, Regency/Victorian espionage, strong heroines, and fake relationship/marriage of convenience tropes.
