Publisher's summary

Lady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend, a duke - with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met.

Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marlow, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned. When Marlow accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship by mail.

Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men - one she's never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from all that's at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.

Good story

Good Christian story. Very G rated, not what I usually read but I really enjoyed the story. I’m surprised I listened all the way to the end. It was well written.

Great Book!

I enjoyed listening to this book so much! Just when I thought I had part of it figured out, the story would take a totally unexpected turn.

nice clean easy listen

I enjoyed the narrator and the story. The spy portion though ran through the whole story was actually seemed more of an aside.

surprise at series and gratitude to recorded books

This series is very good but the first available reader was acceptable at best. The recorded books narrator is very good and all gratitude is given the choice. This series has what could be called a chaste side to Regency Romances. It is still funny, compelling relationships, and well plotted as are the best of Regency Romances as a group. The difference is that the effort to reform choice and behavior is presented through faith rather than lust or eccentric compatibility. Eccentric pairings find their way to each other in self regulated compliance to shared convictions. The romances are still convincing, however, the whole of the books are more than entertainment. They become good company. It is hard to stop wanting the best for the characters and sorry to see the series completed.

Really loved this book.

story was captivating and I didn't want to stop listening. Narrator does quite a good job and different voices are well done. Only snipe I have is the fact I can tell it's an american putting on a British accent, I can hear it with certain words and prenunciations. Doesn't effect it in a negative way though. I would listen to more from both author and narrator.

Great start.

This book was a Daily Deal on Audible and not one that any of my Goodreads Pals had reviewed, but I gave it a shot and found myself pleasantly impressed. Several different types of stories were happening at once which kept it interesting and the characters were well formed and believable. I would happily read more of this series.

The best!

I could not stop listening and was instantly in love with the characters. I could see this easily as a movie. I can't wait to listen to the next book.
