A wallflower's guide to viscounts and vice
by Manda Collins

Under the weight of inheriting his father's title three years ago, Viscount Will Chandler has transformed from the fun loving man he was in his youth to the kind of curmudgeon he once would have ridiculed. With a troublesome mother to and a younger sister he needs to shepherd through the marriage mart, Will is in search of a wife who will take some of the burden of handling his female relatives off his shoulders. When Lucy and Will are accidentally locked in the library at the season's most well attended ball, they witness an attempted murder. In the aftermath, Lucy is forced into a hasty marriage with his disagreeable lordship and becomes the target of a ruthless killer. As she and Will learn how to navigate the treacherous waters of their new marriage, Lucy--with reluctant assistance from her new husband--uses the lessons she's picked up from reading detective novels to search for a killer. As they inch ever closer to learning the murderer's identity, Will and Lucy find themselves growing closer to something like love. Can they capture a killer without risking the fragile love they've only just found?"
