From USA Today bestselling author Kasey Michaels comes the second book in her captivating series about the redgraves – four siblings celebrated for their legacy of scandal and seduction... Lady Katherine Redgrave has one mission – to find her deceased father's journals, which may hold the key to a traitorous conspiracy. She vows to let no obstacle stand in her way. But when Kate meets Simon Ravenbill, Marquis of Singleton, her attention is diverted as the sinfully handsome nobleman tempts her beyond reason... Simon has a mission of his own: to uncover the truth about the secret society he believes murdered his brother. All he needs is to get to the Redgrave journals before Kate does. The solution is simple – he'll romance the fiery beauty in hopes of distracting her from her quest, all the while covertly searching for the diaries himself. Yet what begins as a charade soon becomes an all–consuming desire...one that could lead them down the most dangerous path of all. '... [an] intricate story, engaging characters and wonderful writing.' – RT Book Reviews on What a Lady Needs, Top Pick
