  Compromising the Marquess  
  By Wendy Soliman
  
  England, 1814
  
  Leah Elliot sells secrets to survive. Donning boy’s clothes, she uncovers
  society scandals for a London gossip rag to support herself and her sister,
  who were left destitute after their father’s death. When she meets the
  dashing—and perhaps dangerous—Hal Forster, the Marquess of Denby, she learns
  he may be involved in treason. The rumor is too valuable not to sell, despite
  her attraction to him…
  
  Hal does have a secret, but he’s no traitor: he’s a spy embroiled in a
  mystery, seeking the man who killed his contact in France. He sees the
  alluring woman behind Leah’s disguise at once but is intrigued enough to play
  along…until he realizes that she’s the source of the rumors interfering with
  his investigation and forcing him into an unwanted betrothal.
  
  Now, Hal and Leah must work together to draw out the culprit and undo the
  damage caused by Leah’s gossip.
