He’s undercover. She’s on to him. Sparks were inevitable.

Everyone knows Beau Bellham as the charming, rakish Marquess of Bellingham. But what Society doesn’t know? He’s also a covert agent for the Crown. His latest assignment: slip into a house party disguised as a valet to unmask a traitor hiding in plain sight. What he didn’t plan for was a sharp-tongued, maddeningly tempting lady’s maid who seems determined to ruin both his mission—and his self-control.

Miss Marianne Notley has enough secrets of her own, thank you very much. The last thing she needs is a too-handsome, too-nosy valet poking around her employer’s house—or her heart. She’s certain he’s not who he claims to be, and she’s not above using her own brand of mischief and allure to find out the truth.

But in a house brimming with lies, lords, and laced-up tension, one seductive glance can turn into a kiss…and one kiss can turn into something dangerously real.

When identities are revealed and passions ignite, will they choose duty—or each other?

Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn’s wit and Sarah MacLean’s swoon-worthy heat, The Marquess Who Loved Me delivers a delicious blend of espionage, romance, and enough steam to fog up every window at the house party.

This book was previously titled The Valet Who Loved Me.
