A Courtship of Conspiracies (Crown & Cipher #1)

A hunt for the truth. A dangerous secret. A love that risks everything.

James Campbell, Earl of Brenton, is an agent of the Crown hunting a killer.

Driven by grief and a relentless need for justice, he has followed a trail from the country’s darkest corners to the most powerful circles of high society.

After a string of reckless choices, James must prove his steadiness by securing the marriage society expects.

It should be a simple matter of duty…until the captivating woman in question proves to have a talent for finding trouble and unsettling his carefully laid plans.

Lady Katherine Sutherland has spent her life balancing society’s rigid expectations with a guarded secret of her own.

When a startling discovery draws her into a web of treason, Kate finds herself on a collision course with the very man she is expected to marry—the one man capable of uncovering the truth she has spent years hiding.

As a deadly conspiracy closes in and an unseen enemy tracks their every move, James and Kate must decide what they are willing to risk for the truth, for the Crown, and for each other.

In a game of shifting loyalties and precarious alliances, falling in love may be the riskiest move of all.
