Who would be so foolish as to blackmail the Black Widow of Whitehall? Lady Anna Parbury is in trouble. Her father has passed on and his estates and title have passed to her cousin. It’s not enough, apparently, for her cousin wants the fortune Anna’s father left in trust for her, and he’s willing to compromise her—or worse—to get it. But Anna has discovered her charming rogue of a father was also a charming rogue of a blackmailer, and that leads to brand-new sorts of trouble—like Mr. Elliott Ward, who has arrived looking for the evidence her father held against someone he cares for. And like Mrs. Dove-Lyon, the famous Black Widow of Whitehall, who has come for the same reason—and with a bargain in Anna will give the Black Widow the files Anna’s father held over her, and in exchange, she will find the girl a husband. But all Anna wants is her fortune and her freedom. To get it, she’ll have to team up with Mr. Ward and Mrs. Dove-Lyon. The stakes are high as they battle lies, threats, and thugs, but the Black Widow is betting that she can fix this game of love. Read in Kindle Unlimited!

USA Today Bestseller Deb Marlowe loves History, England and Men in Boots. Clearly she was destined to write Historical Romance. A Golden Heart winner and Rita Finalist, Deb grew up in Pennsylvania with her nose in a book. Luckily, she'd read enough romances to recognize the true modern hero she met at a college Halloween party—even though he wore a tuxedo T-shirt instead of breeches and tall boots. They married, settled in North Carolina and produced two handsome, intelligent and genuinely amusing boys. Though she spends much of her time with her nose in her laptop, for the sake of her family she does occasionally abandon her inner world for the domestic adventure of laundry, dinner and carpool. Despite her sacrifice, not one of the men in her family is willing to don breeches or tall boots. She's working on it.
