The Earl of Merryn needs a woman. His intentions are purely practical- he simply wants someone sensible and suitably lovely to pose as his betrothed for a few weeks among polite society. He has his own agends to pursue, and a false fiancee will keep the husband-hunters at bay while he goes about his business. The simplest solution is t hire a paid companion. After all, the sorry women who must accept such employment are sure to be grateful for any favor... When he encounters Miss Elenor Lodge, he believes his problems are solved. Her dowdy attire and pinned-up hair cannot hide her fine figure and the fire in her golden eyes. And her unfortunate circumstances- and secret dreams of a life onstage- make the Earl's offer undeniably appealing. but St. Merryn is clearly hiding something, and things seem oddly amiss in his gloomy Rain Street home. Elenora is soon to discover that his secrets are even darker than his decor--and this lark will be a more dangerous adventure than she'd been led to believe. And Arthur, Earl of St. Merryn, will find that the meek and mild companion he'd envisioned has become both a parter in his quest to catch a killer-and an outspoken belle of he ball who stirs a bothersome passion in his practical heart.
