Misfortune's Lady - Scandal in Surrey Sandra Sookoo

She wants a slower pace... Miranda Ellis Mason Craythorne is three times a widow. Some say bad luck has dogged her steps; she rather thinks it's just life, yet the rumors sting. She's long left her wild youth behind and now lives at her country estate, content to play matchmaker. Seeing John sets fire to the tendre she's carried for him and causes her to rethink remaining in widowhood even though avoiding matrimony is for his own good.


He wants to settle down... Mr. John Goddard has admired Miranda from afar for years, but their timing has never been right. As a Bow Street Runner-turned-private investigator, he knows mortality has an expiration date. What better woman to start a family with than the one he's held a torch for? But his penchant for the occasional ménage might sour the plans.


He wants the next exciting game... Richard Howick, who is rarely on home soil, is a spy who wants nothing more than the next adventure. He's giving life a merry chase and has no plans to domesticate. He's too much of a rake not to take pleasure when it's offered, and the opportunity to play the occasional third thrills him.


Life presents an unorthodox chance... While rumors abound and scandal nips at their heels, between the three, desire explodes. If their luck holds, they might just find love in the mix.
