No Life for a Lady — Adele Clee

Read the final thrilling installment of the Ladies of the Order series!

After almost a year spent playing chaperone to Mr Daventry's female enquiry agents, Miss Trimble knows she must find a new position. All his agents are married, and so what other reason could he have for calling her to his office late at night? Except her employer is a master matchmaker, a man who has discovered her true identity, knows her real name and her darkest secret. A man who leaves her no choice but to confront her past and work alongside his client -- the illegitimate son of an earl.

Alexander Grayson believes he knows who killed his brother. But he needs proof and cannot simply barge into a man's home and rummage in his armoire. The perfect solution presents itself in the guise of a woman hiding from her past. But when the lady arrives expecting him to hire her as his enquiry agent, she is stunned to find he has a more shocking proposal.

Can a woman everyone believes is dead overcome her distrust of men?

Will the couple's shared goals lead to more than friendship?
