Her Phantom

Sabrina Jeffries writes a delightful romance about spies and flirtatious secrets in Accidentally His. Lady Verity is the last of her three sisters to search for love. Though after the sting of a broken engagement, she is just happy to plan decadent dinners for Elegant Occasions. Rafe Wolfford is a spy on a mission to avenge his uncle’s grievous injury, after uncovering a dangerous traitor. All Rafe knows is that someone in Elegant Occasions is selling dangerous secrets, and he is determined to find out who. Even if it means courting the clever Lady Verity to get invited. Rafe just doesn’t expect how well they fit together.

Lady Verity’s story continues from What Happens in the Ballroom, as she tries to uncover the identity of the Phantom lurking at the recent Elegant Occasions events. When Mr. Wolfford appears at their silent auction, she is certain she has found her man. Except he is infuriatingly vague about who he is. Which makes her even more determined to find out all his secrets, and to steal a few kisses. Diana, Geoffrey, Eliza, and Nathaniel are more than happy to help spill the tea about the mysterious Colonel Wolfford. It is wonderful how the sisters are still involved in each other’s lives, and are still well matched with their respective husbands. With help from the protective, but meddling, chef Monsieur Beaufort.

“She paused outside the door to cast him a chastening look. ’That had better not be another veiled reference to something wicked.’ “Veiled’? Never.’ His grin proved that quite well. ‘I am always direct about anything wicked.’ He narrowed his gaze on her. ‘And you enjoy that, I daresay, since you’re fairly forthright yourself.’”

All of Rafe’s experience as a spy does not prepare him for the curious, and quick-witted Verity. From the beginning he appreciates her openness, honesty, and loving family. Though, these are characteristics he has never had a chance to experience in the army. Finding the traitor who badly injured his uncle is Rafe’s primary goal. He also has serious questions about the death of his parents. The only secret he is unable to discover, is why Varity haunts his thoughts so completely.

A duel between secrets and the truth, can only lead to a broken heart. Verity has to decide if she can give trust Rafe, or live with scandal. Together they uncover dangerous secrets, and accidentally fall in love.… (altro)
