Miss Bigsby & the Very Short Courtship (Treacherous Treasures #2; Dazzling Debutantes #12)

An audacious young woman. A mysterious lord. And a rescue turned kidnapping that may unlock a great love.
In this clean historical romance, a young woman tries to help solve a centuries old mystery, while a secretive lord tries to uncover the truth about a murder. When the two collide, chaos ensures. But perhaps chaos is the key to discovering true love?

She's determined to prove she can keep a secret ...

Henri Bigsby is mortified to discover she has a reputation as the biggest gossip in London. So when she stumbles upon a centuries-old mystery, she is resolved to keep her mouth shut and help a new friend ... without breathing a word to anyone. The only problem? Dangerous opposing forces are searching for the same answers, and Henri is now directly in their path.

He cannot afford for his secrets to come to light ...

When Lord Gabriel Strathmore rescues a young woman from peril, he is dismayed to find she is the very girl known for Parliament's loosest lips. With a sensitive diplomatic negotiation underway and lives hanging in the balance, he cannot risk Henri Bigsby carrying tales of his presence in London. Left with no good options, he takes the loudly protesting young miss with him ... against her will.

Now forced together, the two discover that what began as mutual exasperation may hold the seeds of something far deeper — if they can learn to trust each other before time runs out.

Miss Bigsby and the Very Short Courtship is a heartwarming tale of integrity, unexpected devotion, and love found in the most unlikely of places.
