Courting the Unconventional

Some secrets are worth stealing. Some hearts are harder to escape. Lady Elsbeth Caldwell has long suspected that her stepfather is hiding something far more sinister behind his polished façade. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on an investigation that leads her to take desperate measures, including robbing a passing coach under the cover of night. Unfortunately, the coach belongs to Niles Drayton, Earl of Westcott-a man with a sharp tongue, a sharper wit, and a maddening ability to remain amused in even the most scandalous circumstances. Niles has no patience for matchmaking schemes, particularly those orchestrated by his well-meaning aunt. But when he's introduced to the opinionated and undeniably intriguing Lady Elsbeth, he is determined to keep her as far away from his sister-and himself-as possible. As threats begin to close in around Elsbeth, Niles is pulled deeper into her world. What begins as a reluctant association soon becomes an uneasy alliance, and then something far more dangerous: a fragile, undeniable connection. When long-buried secrets come to light and the true extent of the deception surrounding Elsbeth is revealed, the two must trust each other if they hope to survive. Because this time, it isn't just Elsbeth's heart at risk-it's her life. An Improbable Scheme starts the Courting the Unconventional series.
