About this listen
Dark, dangerous, emotional historical romance.
Join dashing heroes, scandalous scoundrels, and rebellious women in USA Today best-selling author Erica Monroe's suspenseful historical romance series: Covert Heiresses and the Rookery Rogues.
Meet the covert heiresses: women who by day are the talk of the ton and by night England's top spies.
I Spy a Duke
She wants revenge.
When bluestocking Vivian Loren becomes the governess for the wealthy Spencer family, she's hunting for clues about the murder of her brother, not romance. But Vivian didn't count on one thing: James Spencer, the intrepid duke of Abermont, who has a tortured past of his own.
He needs a wife.
As head of Britain's elite intelligence agency, James can't afford the scrutiny the Marriage Mart would bring to his family once the Season starts. After discovering Vivian's quest for vengeance has made her a pawn in a treacherous plot of one of Napoleon's most deadly spies, James realizes they can help each other. She'll become his duchess, and he'll keep her safe.
What begins as a marriage of convenience quickly becomes anything but as secrets surface. When both husband and wife have dark secrets, love may be the most dangerous mission of all.
The Rookery Rogues features thieves, metropolitan police officers, and hellions in the gritty London underworld.
A Dangerous Invitation
She's given up on love and wants only independence....
Torn from her life of privilege by her father's death, Kate Morgan survives in London's dark and depraved rookeries as a fence for stolen goods. The last man she ever expects, or wants, to be reunited with is her first love, who promised to cherish, honor and protect her and instead fled amid accusations of murder.
He's the reformed rake determined to win her back.
One drunken night cost Daniel O'Reilly the woman he loved. If he ever wants to reclaim Kate - and his old life - he'll not only have to prove he's innocent of murder, but convince the pistol-wielding spitfire that he's no longer the scoundrel he once was.
Together, they'll have to face a killer. Time is running out....
