One Touch of Scandal

Adrian Forsythe, Lord Ruthveyn, may seem like a cold, embittered man. But in truth, he feels so deeply he’s found it easier to hold himself apart than risk pain again. Keeping a watchful eye on his sister and her children is taking all of his attention — though it’s a welcome respite from his normal activites. A member of the mysterious Zeno society, Adrian is more accustomed to tracking down killers than toys. Overwhelmed by his new responsibilties, the sudden arrival of Grace Gauthier in his life is a stroke of luck.
Grace thought she had her life figured out. She would marry well, raise a family, and lead an uneventful life. But a brutal murder turns Grace’s life upside down. Desperate, she runs to the only place she knows she can find help–and discovers Lord Ruthveyn. Certain only a member of the Zeno society can uncover the truth, Grace agrees to take the position of governess for his nieces in exchange for Adrian’s help.
