Twins risk everything when they defy the orders of the King, take on false identities, and seek to clear their grandfather’s name, for the sake of their family, and their own chances for a better future. Of course, at least one of them finds love in the process….

Lady Jenneta Darley has returned to London, incognito, after seven years away. Her great aunt insisted – and Jenneta cannot disagree with her reasons, but still, she is afraid, for by doing so, she is disobeying orders given to her family, by the King! Yet if she had not come, what hope would she ever have for her own future? At least in London she might meet eligible gentlemen, and, if she is lucky, find a way to see her twin brother again.

Lancelot Williams, Marquess of Bainbrook, has been quietly recruited by the King’s spymaster, to assist with an investigation – which has been going on for more than seven years, and still has puzzles to be solved. Addressing it requires him to attend far more social events than he would normally prefer…

When they meet, the attraction is instant – but can they trust each other?

Then, Jenneta’s twin brother appears in London, also using a false name, and things become almost a comedy of errors, with undesirable suitors seeking Jenneta, secrets layered on secrets, and the scent of treasonous plotting surrounding it all.

Can Lance solve the puzzle he has been tasked with, and still allow himself to love? Or is the woman he is rapidly coming to care for a traitor to the Crown?

Can Jenneta keep her family secrets safe, and still find love with the man who has intrigued her from the moment that she first saw him?

Or will plots born many years ago destroy them all?
