Lady Maggie's Secret Scandal by Grace Burrowes

4.0

Lady Maggie Windham had the good fortune to be brought up in her father’s household, even though she was born out of wedlock. And she repays that good fortune by keeping her nose clean and her name out of trouble. Then she meets Benjamin Hazlit, and decides to ask him to find something for her.

He’s surprised when he agrees to take on the task. But how could he refuse? She’s beautiful, even if she withdraws from Society. She’s smart as a whip – scandalously so. And she’s hiding something.

I loved Maggie Windham. She is strong yet gentle. Loving and loyal. And worried that she cannot protect her family from her mother’s schemes. Ben is the perfect foil for Maggie, as he tries to unravel her secret while protecting her reputation and her life. Of course, protecting her reputation means that he’s going a-courtin’ to explain his meetings with her… Y’all can guess what happens from the pretend courtship…

Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal is romantic and a bit sassy. I guess when you’ve put yourself on the shelf, you feel a little more freedom to speak your mind? In any case, the dialog is entertaining, and it’s always lovely to watch Grace Burrowes’ characters fall in love.
