Arthur is an earl on a mission. He needs a fake fiancee for cover and so he decides to hire a paid companion. That step is harder than he anticipated but when he meets Miss Elenora Lodge he knows he’s got the right one and makes a generous offer she can’t refuse. His secrets, her strength, and their proximity quickly make this much more than a standard employment contract. 

It’s a murder mystery thriller and fake engagement romance. And it’s absolutely bonkers: secret water tunnels and a villain with a laser. THIS IS A HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
