A scandalous correspondence. Public literary feud. A love that could damn them both.Edgar Marshal Albury, Duke of Lancaster, lives a double life-notorious rake by day, secret romance novelist by night. When the vicious critic E. Lovelace shreds his latest work, he strikes back as "Aengus Steele," launching a literary war that captivates London. But then he meets Elisha Linde, a fierce reformer whose sharp mind and hidden fire make him forget other women exist. He's falling hard for two women-never dreaming they're the same person. When he discovers Elisha's treasonous activities could get her hanged, this pampered duke will risk his title, his fortune, and his neck to save the woman who's made him love again.Elisha Linde clawed her way from the workhouse to respectability, hiding behind the pen name E. Lovelace to savage London's literary pretensions. Her public feud with pompous author Aengus Steele is delicious revenge against the privileged-until the sinfully handsome Duke of Lancaster unveils the passion she didn't know she possessed. She should resist his notorious charm, but their verbal sparring ignites something dangerous in her blood. Now her secret life writing seditious pamphlets threatens to destroy everything, and she must choose between her fight for reform or her own happiness.When words cut deeper than swords, love is the deadliest weapon of all.Tropes you'll love: Epistolary Enemies to LoversLiterary Salon SocietyFamous Author CameosLiterary RivalsBlackmail PlotSecret IdentityPolitical IntrigueOpen door, steamy scenesThe Daring DamselsBook 1 - Touched by a TraitorBook 2 - A Literary LiaisonBook 3 - A Most Peculiar Courtship
