It is the most talked about betrothal of the year. The strictly raised Sandiford heiress is to marry London’s most eligible man – the dashing and desirable Earl of Wraybourne. Jane knows Lord Wraybourne is only marrying her for her fortune, but that doesn’t seem to diminish the startling pleasure she finds in his flirtatious attentions.
Bus as she’s swept off to London to grow accustomed to fashionable society, Jane’s pleasure goes from surprise to shock after shock. She becomes a target for the Whisperer, who is stalking women. If only she could turn to the man she has come to love but now she’s beginning to doubt him too...
