Secrets of a Summer Night

From the New York Times bestselling author of Devil

in Disguise, the first book in her beloved Wallflowers series.

The Wallflowers: four

young ladies at the side of the ballroom make a pact to help each other find

husbands . . . no matter what it takes.

Proud and beautiful

Annabelle Peyton could have her pick of suitors—if only she had a dowry. Her

family is on the brink of disaster, and the only way Annabelle can save them is

to marry a wealthy man. Unfortunately her most persistent admirer is the brash

Simon Hunt, a handsome and ambitious entrepreneur who wants her as his

mistress.

Annabelle is

determined to resist Simon's wicked propositions, but she can't deny her

attraction to the boldly seductive rogue, any more than he can resist the challenge

she presents. As they try to outmaneuver each other, they find themselves

surrendering to a love more powerful than they could have ever imagined. But

fate may have other plans—and it will take all of Annabelle's courage to face a

peril that could destroy everything she holds dear.
