Mad Morelands #08: His Improper Lady

- Blurb -

Some family secrets were never meant to be disturbed. It' s been a year since Tom Quick became a partner in the detective agency, Moreland & Quick, that he operates with his lifelong friend Constantine Moreland. When he catches an intruder breaking into the agency, obviously looking for something, it' s clear that a new case is afoot. But this intruder wears an alluring scent, moves like a trained acrobat. . . and is clearly an attractive woman. After a hardscrabble childhood, Desiree Malone grew up to be a talented performer, and now, she wants to find her real father. All she knows is that he' s an aristocrat, and he abandoned her and her brothers when they were small. When she finds something at Moreland & Quick that gives her a lead, she can' t help but follow it. Tom wants to help Desiree, but he' s still a little suspicious of her, even though he can' t help but be drawn to her. But as Desiree and Tom dig deeper into Desiree' s roots, they stumble on a mystery larger than either of them imagined--a mystery that threatens both their lives.
