school friend, a duke--with no intention of ever sending these
private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met.
Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marlow, her
brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the
strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of
a rebellion than she planned. When Marlow accidentally discovers
and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is
beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her
note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail.
Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her
growing feelings for two men--one she's never met but whose words
deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on
but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes
apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick
of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from
all that's at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.
