The Wiley Wastrel

AN INVENTION OF LOVE

Juliet Galsworth's mother was sure her daughter was unmarriageable, imagine a lady interested in fixing mechanical things! Then James Langford came to visit, and Juliet found herself drawn to the supposed wastrel, who concealed the fine mind of an inventor behind his handsome, rakish exterior. For the first time she found someone who shared her interests. And when they were caught alone together in a compromising position, James's hurried proposal of marriage seemed like a dream come true. For despite the frantic nature of their betrothal, both felt a desire neither could deny.

So when Juliet discovered that James held dangerous secrets close to his heart, she was determined to come to his aid. But helping him would mean facing the same dangers he faced, and putting their newfound love in jeopardy.
