I've read this book and recommend it if you like a bit more than an ordinary Regency read.
A BARON IN HER BED
The Spies of Mayfair Series
Book One
London, 1816. A handsome baron. A faux betrothal.
And Horatia’s plan to join the London literary set takes a dangerous turn.
Now that the war
with France has ended, Baron Guy Fortescue arrives in England to claim his
inheritance, abandoned over thirty years ago when his father fled to France
after killing a man in a duel. When Guy is set upon by footpads in London, a
stranger, Lord Strathairn, rescues and befriends him. But while travelling to
his country estate, Guy is again attacked. He escapes only to knock himself out
on a tree branch.
Aspiring poet Horatia Cavendish has taken to
riding her father’s stallion, “The General”, around the countryside of Digswell
dressed as a groom. She has become bored of her country life and longs to
escape to London to pursue her desire to become part of the London literary
set. When she discovers Guy lying unconscious on the road, the two are forced
to take shelter for the night in a hunting lodge. After Guy discovers her ruse,
a friendship develops between them.
Guy suspects his
relative, Eustace Fennimore is behind the attacks on his life. He has been
ensconced in Rosecroft Hall during the family’s exile and will become the heir
should Guy die. Horatia refuses to believe her godfather, Eustace, is responsible.
But when Guy proposes a faux betrothal to give him more time to discover the
truth, she agrees. Secure in the knowledge that his daughter will finally wed,
Horatia’s father allows her to visit her blue-stocking aunt in London.
But Horatia’s time
spent in London proves to be anything but a literary feast, for a dangerous foe
plots Guy’s demise. She is determined to keep alive her handsome fiancé, who has
proven more than willing to play the
part of her lover even as he resists her attempts to save him.
