Much Ado About Charlotte — Karen Lingefelt

[Bookstrand Historical Regency Romance, M/F, HEA] Charlotte Jordan's life is in chaos. First, she ran away with a Shakespearean acting troupe. Then, she was forced to marry her cousin, only to be jilted at the altar. Now, to clear his debts, she's being sold to a procurer. She escapes with the aid of Lord Ethan Lovell, a dashing charmer who steals her heart, though she fears her many entanglements have left her unmarriageable. The younger brother of a duke, Ethan plays at being useful by spying for the Crown at London balls and country house parties. It's dull and unrewarding until he's ordered to rescue fiery, forthright Charlotte, who creates more havoc than any traitor he never unmasked. But he's determined to protect her, even if it means marrying her. When the secrets of her scandalous past threaten the lasting love they both seek, Ethan must find the key to open Charlotte's heart--and if he succeeds, he'll have accomplished his greatest and most dangerous mission.
