Lady Maggie's Secret Scandal by Grace Burrowes
3.0
We get the other Windham bastard (by-blow?) story in this book. Lady Maggie is the oldest of the duke's daughters, the only one not from his duchess. She's thirty years old and living on her own (okay, probably not historically accurate, but it's romance, let it roll). She's recently lost a purse that had more than just money in it, it had secrets. She hires Benjamin Hazlit to retrieve it for her. He's known in society as a man who can retrieve missing daughters so she figures he can do this as well.
Benjamin has done work for the Duke and Duchess and knows some of the family secrets. He also knows the love that he sees between the Duke and his wife as well as the love they have for their children, all of the children. He has his family history that isn't so pleasant, and in Maggie, he sees a chance to not only atone for the sins of his past, but also to capture the woman of his dreams.
Maggie is continually described as strong and a financial genius, but I didn't really feel like that's what was actually depicted. It was an entertaining read and if you like Grace Burrowes, this is definitely a book that you'll enjoy.
