Overview
One bookish debutante. Two dashing suitors. And a season full of scandal. Lady Alaina Sinclair never expected London society to be so treacherous-or so tempting. She has always preferred books to ballrooms, but with a disastrous start to her first season, she's determined to rewrite her fate. With her heart set on the respectable-and very eligible-Duke of Ashford, Alaina is ready to embrace society's expectations... even if it means silencing her true desires. Alaina's world is set awry by Christopher Kendall, the Marquess of Rochester-sharp-tongued, maddeningly handsome, and inconveniently, the duke's closest friend. Their first encounter is a disaster. Their next, a temptation. And every moment together after that, increasingly impossible to ignore. But with a web of secrets, jealous relatives, and mysterious threats unraveling around her, it soon becomes clear: this is no ordinary season. Kindred Schemes is a modern take on a regency romance with glamour, a steamy love triangle, and enough mystery to keep readers turning the page.
