Married to the Viscount of Deception (Inconvenient Marriages Book 2)

Description

Miss Isabella Drayton has no interest in the marriage market, until a practical betrothal to the charming Mr. Lawrence Whitby promises freedom to pursue her scientific passions. But when Lawrence vanishes on the night of their engagement ball, leaving only a bloodied handkerchief and a chilling ransom note, Isabella’s carefully ordered world shatters.

Enter Everett Kane, her childhood friend, now a man hardened by loss but unable to resist the brilliant, stubborn woman who once stole his heart. Together, they must untangle a trail of lies, ransom demands, and whispered secrets, all while a dangerous attraction sparks between them.

As deception closes in, Isabella must face the greatest risk of all, trusting Everett with both the truth, and her heart.
