Welcome to Litsy!

In Alexandra Vasti�s newest Regency rom-com, a reclusive earl�s life is turned upside down when a stranger shows up on his doorstep with an astonishing proposal�and an inconvenient connection to espionage. For three years, wallflower heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace has anonymously penned seditious pamphlets. And for almost as long, she�s corresponded with the Earl of Strathrannoch, whose political ambition is matched only by his charm. When Arthur�s latest letter reveals his dire financial straits, Lydia sets out for Scotland to offer him the only salvation she can think of�a marriage of convenience. To, um, herself. Unfortunately, the Earl of Strathrannoch has no idea who she is. When a bewitching redheaded stranger offers him her hand in marriage, Arthur Baird is stunned�but when he learns that his traitorous brother has been writing to her under Arthur�s name, he�s bloody furious. He�s content to live alone in his moldering castle, and he has no desire for a provocative, radical wife. (Or at least, he shouldn�t.) But Arthur is desperate to track down his brother, who�s become dangerously entangled in British espionage, and he needs Lydia�s help. What he doesn�t need? The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defenses and his brother�s mysterious past becomes a very present threat, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe�even his heart.
