Cecilia's Victory

Devastated after her disastrous first Season that almost ended in tragedy, Cecilia Goodwin has put aside all hope and dreams of love.

Until she discovers that Lord Daniel Eliot's stern façade covers a heart of passion.

Two years ago, when Cecilia had her London debut, she was ready to fall in love. But the man who wooed her was a traitor. Now, two years later, she is much more cynical and believes that true love exists only in fairy tales. She will not be fooled again. She will not lose her heart.

And she will not fall in love with a man who sees too much.

Lord Daniel Eliot is everything Society admires and few truly understand-reserved, disciplined, and quietly formidable. He does not flatter. He does not forget. And he does not trust easily... least of all a young woman once entangled in scandal.

His reserved demeanor has led people to declare he has no heart. However, back in London for another Season, Cecilia cannot avoid Lord Daniel Eliot, a close friend of her guardian, Lord Robert Lamercier and a fellow member of the Spymasters, a group of men commited to uncovering traitors.

As the two spend time together, Cecilia begins to discover that he has a strength of character and a sense of honor that become very necessary when she finds herself in trouble.

But will he believe she is no longer the frivolous young lady who too easily trusted the wrong people?

Book Two in the Wards of Lamercier series can be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed even more if read as part of the series.
