From a New York Times bestselling author and one of the hottest romance writers today, a sexy historical novella set in Regency England—now available exclusively as an eBook.

Colonel Michael Sanson returns home after the war to find his older brother William in an uproar. Eccentric inventor William claims a colleague, Geoffrey Kenyon, stole a formula that could make the family very wealthy and save their poverty-stricken estate.

Pretending to be a tea merchant, Michael befriends his brother’s colleague in an effort to find the stolen formula and steal it back. After the hell of war this seemed like an easy task, but Michael wasn’t expecting Jocelyn Kenyon, Geoffrey’s niece. This beautiful spitfire has plans of her own, and they include Michael acting as her new fiance to make a former suitor jealous. In between drinking tea, searching for the missing formula, and stealing kisses from Jocelyn, Michael thinks he might have found something he wasn't looking for—true love. Can he put his past behind him and embrace this unplanned passion?
