The Ruin of Evangeline Jones

Alex Stanton just inherited a dukedom but his true passion is uncovering charlatans and frauds wherever he finds them. Spiritualist and medium Evangeline âEvieâ Jones is the biggest fake of all and heâs determined to expose her lies for all of London to see. Her prim manner and ladylike airs donât fool him. He sees the hunger beneath and recognizes a worthy opponent. He canât deny the dark undercurrents of lust between them. Evie worked her way up from the gutter and sheâs not about to abandon the life sheâs built for fear of this aristocratic dilettante. She knows his type. She sees the attraction simmering beneath his animosity, and she knows how to use it to keep him off balance. They strike a bargain. He has one week to prove sheâs a fake. If he fails, he has to abandon all further attempts. If he succeeds, sheâll not only retire but make a public statement explaining all her tricks. Neither expects to find anything in common, not to mention anything to love, in the other. Both are blindsided by the affinity and blossoming tenderness between them. But even if it were possible for a lowly charlatan to live happily ever after with a duke, more is going on than either suspects. Someone else has brought them together for a sinister purpose of his own. Each book in the Harcastle Inheritance series is STANDALONE:* The Madness of Miss Grey* The Ruin of Evangeline Jones
