GOODREADS



Miss Wilhelmina "Mina" Crawford is desperate. Having been ruined in the eyes of society years ago for one foolish, starry-eyed mistake, she spends her days secreted away at her family's crumbling estate, helping her brother manage the land but not able to truly live life the way she's always dreamed. When her brother admits to just how dire their finances have gotten, she takes it upon herself to procure employment...but the only one who will even consider the scandalous idea of a female secretary is the brilliant, ruthless, and infuriating Earl of Creswick.

Simon Loughton, the Earl of Creswick, needs help if he wants to finally pass the reform bill he's been championing for years and secure the vote for England's most vulnerable constituents. Too bad help comes in the form of a woman with breathtaking nerve, fiery red hair, and a sense of humor to match.

Now temptation--disguised as a lovely, clever-mouthed devil--lives and works under Simon's very roof. And Mina finally feels as though she's truly living life to her wildest dreams. But even the most incendiary of kisses can't incinerate Mina's past...or the shocking secret that could ruin them both.
 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lady Wilhelmina Crawford and her twin brother are struggling to keep the estate going.  When her brother admits to doing something stupid to try and help,  Mina steps in to fix it.  Our heroine is an intelligent and capable young woman who feels she has nothing to lose. Already being "ruined" gives her a certain freedom. 
Simon Loughton, Earl of Creswick uses his incredible intelligence in parliament to help push through the reform bills that will benefit the hard working,  ordinary people of England. Our hero hasn't got time for socialising. His grandmother can pick the wife she insists he needs.  He's too busy working to care. 
This is a steamy historical romance with very intense characters.  Being incredibly clever doesn't always mean you get your own way.  
This is the first book in a new series, and if the rest are as much fun we are in for a treat.  
I loved it.

I am an avid reader of novels with a deep passion for writing. I especially love romance and enjoy writing about people falling in love. I live a lot in the worlds I create and I actively speak to my characters (out loud). I have a warrior way “Never give up on my dream.” When I am not writing, I spend a copious amount of time drooling over Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, Lucas Hood from Banshee, watching Japanese Anime and playing video games with my love—Dusean. I also have a horrible weakness for ice cream.
