A Dash of Disguise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737855477)

She's more than meets the eye.

Lady Perdita Tinley-Dita to her family and friends-grew up as did any well-bred young woman. Daughter of an earl, she had the best of everything. However, her perfect life suffered a crushing blow when the love of her life rejected her. Refusing to ever consider marriage, Dita decided to help with England's fight against France-secretly, of course. She believes women can be the perfect spies to help in the war effort, and since her beloved brother is a key player in the fight against Napoleon, she feels it her duty to support his service.

He's gambling with her heart.

Dashiell West, Earl of Beldon, isn't the marrying kind. After his father died, Dash withdrew from society and started spending most of his time in the gaming hells, turning his back on the ton, wallowing in his rakish ways. Except, this debauched lifestyle will offer Dash his one chance at salvation. He has made contacts with the seedy underground of traitors who use the gambling dens to sell out their government. So, when Dita's brother-once Dash's best friend-is taken hostage by the French, Dash knows he can help. Except it means being near the woman he can't forget.

The stakes are too high.

Dita decides to set out on her own to find her brother. Instead, she finds the one man she wanted to forget. Worse, she must ask for his help, entering into a partnership with the infamous rake. Little does she know the danger they will both face. As they risk their lives, will either survive long enough to realize they still love each other?-- or that hearts should never be gambled with?
