The Spinster's Last Dance — Mary Lancaster

“He was my last dance, and it is already over”

At thirty years old, Delilah Vale attends the Blackhaven assembly room ball for only one reason -- to enjoy a symbolic final waltz before embracing spinsterhood and an independent career as a translator and secretary. Lord Linfield, distinguished diplomat, handsome, graceful, and charming, is the perfect partner.

Unfortunately, Linfield is there for an entirely different reason -- to reel in the traitor who is leading one of Britain's allies to assassination.

Neither expects to be quite so fascinated by the other. Or so mistaken…

Together, they could save a princess's life and a valuable political alliance. But can they save their own personal happiness?
