Frivolous Pretence — Anthea Malcolm

ONLY A CAD WOULD DOUBT A LADY'S INNOCENCE!

A LADY'S INNOCENCE

When secret information about the scandalous divorce trial of Queen Caroline fell into the wrong hands, Demetra Hawksley was incensed to learn that she was suspected of betraying the Queen. That her own beloved husband wouldn't believe her protestations of innocence was the most crushing blow of all. There was nothing for it but to leave the blackguard... at least until she could unmask the real traitor. But how was she going to get through the long, lonely nights without the warmth of his trust... and the passion of his embrace?

A GENTLEMAN'S SUSPICIONS

Frank Hawksley hated to believe Demetra would betray him, but the facts were incontrovertible. Still, though he wondered what other secrets lurked behind her wondrous gray-green eyes, he couldn't help wanting the disloyal baggage. He had to have her back -- if only to protect the silly little minx from herself. Who knew what kind of mess she'd land in, running around as though she belonged on Bow Street! It would be best to keep her close... very close, indeed. Even if their marriage was only a FRIVOLOUS PRETENCE
