About this ebook
Ambitious London reporter Colin Goddard has spent his whole life clawing toward stability. A juicy story—say, one involving a titled family—would finally secure his career. Lady Ada Ellis’s scandal-plagued brother has provided plenty of material...if only Colin can convince Ada to fill in the details.
Ada doesn't plan on being useful to anyone. After a public jilting, she retreated to the countryside and made her peace with quiet. Then Colin shows up—inconveniently handsome, persistent, and asking all the wrong questions—right as Ada's former fiancé visits the village with his new bride.
She pivots fast, offering Colin her secrets in exchange for two weeks of fake courtship. He gets his story; she gets her dignity back. Clean, simple, temporary. Goodbye.
Except the charming Colin proves too attractive for Ada to keep at arm’s length. And as she lowers her guard, sharing wit and warmth, he realizes she’s exactly the kind of woman to make a man set aside his old dreams for new desires.
Their bargain made sense when they struck it. Then love changed the terms...
Desperately Seeking Scandal is a stand-alone novella, previously published in The Duke's Bridle Path anthology.
