Hiding.A skill that proves unexpectedly useful when she overhears a whispered conversation at Lord Bamber's grand masked ball - one involving murder, a secret society, and two gentlemen with alarmingly casual attitudes towards crime.Hours later, a man is dead.And somehow Charlotte becomes the prime suspect.Now, the most overlooked woman in London has suddenly become the most wanted.To clear her name, Charlotte must disguise herself as a governess, infiltrate a dangerous web of secrets, unmask a murderous cabal - and somehow avoid falling for the infuriatingly handsome lord who believes she tried to kill him.Not ideal for a woman who only ever wished to be left alone.Perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, Deanna Raybourn, and Agatha Christie-style mysteries.ENEMIES TO LOVERS ¿ FORCED PROXIMITY ¿ COUNTRY HOUSE MYSTERY ¿ SECRET SOCIETY ¿ SLOW-BURN ROMANCE
