The last thing Evelyn Hughes ever thought she wanted was silence. Deemed as the socialite to emulate, she was ready to accept a proposal from the highest-ranking bachelor in London. Kenneth Silence was the fellow most ladies wanted, if they dared trust their heart to their future. He carries charisma on his shoulders like it's his genuine birthright, but he also carries the weight of knowing when someone isn't telling the truth. He is rarely wrong. With his talent to discern he is forced to rescue Evelyn from social ruin while at the dinner party of the season, much to her dismay. Months later, he finds her secretly living-independent of society-in a very meager cottage owned by his friend, the Duke of Huntsman. He knew the detective in him could not be restrained. Silence is pulled by the mystery, but finds Evelyn Hughes to be the greater draw. "This classic regency romance is the perfect blend of romance and mystery, and it quickly carries the reader flawlessly into England's historical world." - Melanie Schertz, author of Jane Austen fan fiction
